What happened
Foreign ministers met at the G20 in Atlanta to discuss energy security and supply chains, with Johann Wadephul participating in the talks alongside the Quad meeting. European officials pushed Russia to secure a ceasefire in the Black Sea, an important agriculture export corridor. However, several European ministers threatened to boycott the traditional group photograph due to Russia's attendance.
