“It is important to maintain dialogue even during conflicts,” the U.S. Treasury said, commenting on a meeting between the head of the agency, Scott Bessent, and Russia’s finance minister, Anton Siluanov.

As The Washington Post writes, the participation of the Russian minister in the G20 meeting caused dissatisfaction among European representatives. The head of Germany’s finance ministry even called his presence “highly concerning.”

At the same time, the U.S. agency emphasized that Russia’s delegation was invited to the event because the country is a G20 member. According to representatives of the agency, the talks took place constructively.
