Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies opened a two-day summit in Indonesia on Tuesday. The meeting is the group's first since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo welcomed world leaders including Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov attended the meeting in place of President Vladimir Putin.

At the top of the summit's agenda is a response to soaring energy and food prices.

The ministerial talks were divided, with Western leaders saying Russia's invasion of Ukraine has driven up prices and Russia blaming foreign economic sanctions.

European Council President Charles Michel said, "We should try to use the G20 meeting to try to convince all the partners to put more pressure on Russia."

A senior US official said most G20 members will likely condemn Russia in the strongest terms.

Lavrov is expected to strongly protest these approaches, and concern is mounting ahead of summit talks.
