Lavrov ‘sidelined’ by Putin after Trump summit failure
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | November 7, 2025 | Kieran Kelly

Sergei Lavrov has been sidelined by Vladimir Putin after his failure to organise a summit with Donald Trump in Budapest, according to reports.

The Russian daily Kommersant, a privately owned pro-Kremlin outlet, said that Russia’s long-time foreign minister was “deliberately absent” from a key security council meeting earlier this week.

The 76-year-old will also no longer represent Moscow at the upcoming G20 summit, which is scheduled for November 22 and 23 in Johannesburg.

Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, did not give any explanation for Mr Lavrov’s absence from the key summit, which will be attended instead by Maxim Oreshkin, Putin’s deputy chief of staff.

Putin is unable to travel to South Africa because of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant. In the past, the Russian leader has sent Mr Lavrov in his place, including for the G20 summit in Bali in 2022 and the Brics summit in Brazil earlier this year.

Just like Stalin did to Molotov. Lavrov best avoid top floors in high buildings now.

Amazing how posters who say they are not pro-Putin come out of the woodwork to support Putin. ...

He’s 76 with a bum ticker and likely a drinking problem. My money is on him being hospitalized. Yeltsin croaked at the same age with similar comorbidities. Let’s hope ol’ sourpuss meets a similar end soon.

This is about Lavrov, not Putin. But arrogant dorks always try the same tactics when people don’t succumb to their UK or US RAT sourced news hogwash from the likes of The Hill, Axios, or Daily Beast style hogwash.

You must be the other person that snek speaks to in his snakehole. LOL. Another Trump hater.

Glad to make your day but I can recommend some hobbies if you feel empty in your life.

Or perhaps a pet?

I was wondering when you guys would mount a comeback. There's so few of you left anymore. Speedy was finally committed, FtrPilot returned home to Bluesky, and the Marcusbot was terminally disconnected.
