Delegates Walk Out as Russian Official Speaks at IMF Meeting
At the IMF steering committee meeting in Bangkok, many delegates, including those from the European Union and Nordic countries, walked out when Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov spoke in Russian. The walkout reflects ongoing tensions due to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which has disrupted consensus within the committee. European diplomats emphasized the war's existential threat and rejected normalizing relations with Russia.
