However, he said, an exclusion would not be fatal at present, most G20 members are waging economic war against Russia anyway.
Moscow was ready to take part in the meetings; Peskov stressed, but now also wanted to establish new contacts and relations.
The day before, U.S. President Joe Biden spoke out in favour of Russia’s exclusion from the G20.
But Russia has at least one ally in the format in China.
