The G20 foreign ministers meeting kicked off in Atlanta on Friday without a “family photo” after numerous representatives were expected to walk out rather than be pictured alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Two Western officials told CNN more than a third of attending officials had threatened to walk out of a picture with the Russian foreign minister.
