On December 1st, India assumed the G20 presidency. The G20 summit, which will take place in September 2023, will be the culmination of all the procedures and gatherings of ministers, senior officials, and civil society that took place throughout the year beginning in December.

There are 19 nations in the Group of Twenty (G20), including the European Union. Around two-thirds of the world's population, over 75% of the worldwide trade, and about 85% of the global GDP are all represented by its members.

As Moscow claimed to have stopped Kyiv's most intense drone attack on its territory, Ukraine was prepared to demand that Russia be excluded from the UN Security Council on Monday.

Ten months into Moscow's offensive and as Russia's defiant leader Vladimir Putin accused the West of attempting to "tear apart" his nation, Kyiv will make the demand.

On Monday, Russia claimed to have shot down a Ukrainian drone at its airfield in Engels, which is located more than 600 kilometres (370 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
