Indonesia under pressure from US to include Ukraine at G20 summit | SCMP |

The United States is among nations pressing Indonesia to include Ukraine as a guest at the Group of 20 summit in November, frustrated at Jakarta's refusal to withdraw an invitation for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The shift in tactics shows the diplomatic wrangling confronting Indonesia as G20 host this year, and the dilemma for member states including the US given Putin's war in Ukraine, now entering its third month. Russia is a member of the G20, alongside countries like China and India, which have not joined sanctions on Moscow for its aggression.
