The claim

A photo showing Annalena Baerbock and Sergei Lavrov is associated with the G20 meeting in Bali.

Our conclusion

However, the photo is from January 2022, when the Foreign Minister made her inaugural visit to Moscow.

At the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, it was reported in numerous media that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov left the meeting immediately after his speech. He also no longer followed Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock's speech.

However, a photo is now circulating that shows Baerbock and Lavrov and is associated with the G20 summit. The message of the picture is interpreted in different ways. Some criticize the German Foreign Minister because she is turning away from Lavrov, but she should make better efforts to negotiate. Others applaud her for giving the Russian Foreign Minister the cold shoulder.

Annalena Baerbock had already announced in advance that she was not interested in taking a photo with Lavrov from the G20 meeting:

Photo is not from the G20 summit

However, the photo that is now circulating on social media and is associated with the meeting at the G20 summit comes from an earlier meeting, namely in January, when Baerbock made her inaugural visit to Moscow. The media reported here too. The photo in question was used, for example, by the Frankfurter Allgemeine or Spiegel as the cover photo for their respective reporting.

Conclusion

The photo showing Annalena Baerbock with Sergei Lavrov was taken in January of this year, when the German Foreign Minister made her inaugural visit to Moscow.

It is unrelated to the G20 summit in July 2022.
