During the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta, UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband directly confronted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, labeling Russia as the aggressor in the ongoing Ukraine war. Miliband condemned recent attacks, including a drone strike on a Dnipro railway that killed 15 civilians, emphasizing that Russia is not winning the war. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas criticized Lavrov for spreading false narratives about the conflict. The meeting saw European officials pressuring Moscow for a ceasefire, but Lavrov's responses indicated no willingness for peace talks. Notably, plans for a traditional family photo with Lavrov were canceled after several officials refused to be photographed with him. The US also announced a new military aid package for Ukraine, including 500 Patriot PAC-3 interceptors, although delivery may take years. The geopolitical tensions remain high as the conflict continues to escalate.
