Dutch representatives and delegates from several other nations walked out of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) meeting on Saturday as the Russian Minister of Finance began to speak. This event marked the first time a Russian official has addressed the IMF since 2022.
The Russian delegation’s attendance at the meeting was facilitated by a request from the United States. The walkout serves as a diplomatic protest by the Netherlands and other participating countries against the Russian presence at the international financial forum.
