“Earlier my representatives, along with US & Canadian counterparts left today’s G20 meeting in Washington as Russian delegates spoke,” Sunak said on Twitter. “We are united in our condemnation of Russia’s war against Ukraine and will push for stronger international co-ordination to punish Russia.” Yellen was joined in her walkout by Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey and Canadian finance minister Chrystia Freeland, among others.

Yellen plans to boycott two G20 sessions on the international financial architecture and sustainable finance, one of the source said, though Treasury officials said she would join a discussion of the Ukraine war’s impact on the global economy. Freeland, who is also Canada’s deputy prime minister, said she walked out of a G20 plenary meeting to protest against Russia’s participation.
