India gets angry.
US retracts, calling it an unofficial visit.
Is this pressure tactics on India, coupled with trying to build better relationship with Pakistan? Pretty funny though that they are flip-flopping on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir occupation.

"Multiple Western countries quit the closed-door meeting in protest when the Russian delegation started to talk. Officials who left included U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, as well as Canadian Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland."
That's three countries. What about the other 15 (not including Japan and Russia)?
Did they stay and hear out the Russian delegation or leave or what?
You mean a planned out strategy of economic warfare is better than throwing crap at the ceiling and seeing what sticks? Color me surprised.
The reality: Japanese likes to brown tongue the Indonesians for investment oppotunities as well as to compete with China... so they can't afford to offend the host, the Indonesians, so didn't walk out.

“I’m in Kharkov. I’m OK. I just want to say that I’m back online.” Lira said in short video chat with journalist Alex Christoforou on The Duran channel on YouTube.
“I was picked up by the SBU on Friday, April 15,” the blogger revealed.
Speaking about his condition, the 54-year-old said that he was “fine physically,” but “a little rattled” and “a little bit discombobulated.” Lira made it clear that he was forbidden from revealing any details about what had happened to him in detention.
“I’m still in Kharkov and for the time being I cannot leave. The authorities here told me that I cannot leave the city,” he said, adding that his computer and phone were taken away and that he didn’t have access to his accounts on social media.

The Ministry of Defense called the tasks of the second stage of the special operation in Ukraine
One of the tasks is to establish full control over the Donbass and Southern Ukraine, this will allow creating a land corridor to Crimea and another exit to Transnistria, Major General Rustam Minnekaev, Deputy Commander of the Central Military District, said.YEKATERINBURG, April 22. /TASS/. The Russian army during the second stage of the special operation should establish full control over the Donbass. This was stated by the Deputy Commander of the Central Military District (CVO), Major General Rustam Minnekayev, at the annual meeting of the Union of Defense Industries of the Sverdlovsk Region.
"Since the beginning of the second phase of the special operation, it has already begun, literally two days ago, one of the tasks of the Russian army is to establish full control over the Donbass and southern Ukraine," he said.
The control of the RF Armed Forces over the Donbass will make it possible to create a land corridor to the Crimea, Minnekaev stressed.
"This (control over the Donbass - TASS note) will provide a land corridor to the Crimea, as well as influence the vital facilities of the Ukrainian [military forces], Black Sea ports through which agricultural and metallurgical products are delivered to [other] countries," - said the deputy commander.
"Control over the South of Ukraine is another way out to Transnistria, where there are also facts of oppression of the Russian-speaking population. Apparently, we are now at war with the whole world, as it was in the Great Patriotic War, all of Europe, the whole world was against us. And now the same thing, they never liked Russia," he added.
Minnekaev stressed that the technical superiority of the Russian army over the Ukrainian Armed Forces on land, sea and airspace is obvious.
"When striking, the Russian armed forces do not suffer any losses. This kills the morale of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine the most. The technical superiority of the Russian army on land, at sea and in the air has become obvious," he said.
Minnekaev added that the special operation should be "successfully brought to its logical conclusion." He stated that all tasks set will be fulfilled.
“We didn’t start this war, but we will finish it,” Minnekaev said.
Another way to Transnistria? Ukraine is about to become a landlocked country. Enjoy paying back your multi trillion debt over the course of 5000 years.
Hey, look on the bright side. Ukraine will end up becoming more similar in geopolitical picture to Switzerland. Maybe that'll convince them to finally be neutral.
