Indonesia's foreign minister, whose country chairs the Group of 20 major economies this year, plans to take part remotely to discuss the global impacts of the war. The meeting at the Baltic Sea resort of Weissenhaus, located northeast of Hamburg, takes place amid tight security, with about 3,500 police officers deployed at the event site. Speaking in Berlin on Thursday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba welcomed the German government's recent decisions to step up military support for his country.
