Russia's special representative for G20 and APEC affairs said on the 13th that
Moscow's participation in the US-hosted G20 summit in December is being
obstructed after the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and the
Russian Academy of Sciences were added to US sanctions lists, preventing related
personnel from entering the United States. Moscow has submitted diplomatic
protests and warned it will not recognize a G20 summit or its outcomes held
without Russian participation. The summit is scheduled for Dec. 14-15 in Miami.
