The Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, joined financial leaders from France, Germany, and Nordic and Baltic countries in staging a collective walkout at an International Monetary Fund meeting in Bangkok to protest the participation and remarks of Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.1 The demonstration occurred as Siluanov began speaking in Russian, with approximately half of the attending delegates participating in the departure.1
The European officials justified their action on the grounds of Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.1 One European diplomat stated: "The war in Ukraine is a matter of existence for us Europeans. We cannot normalize relations with Russia."1 Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel confirmed that nearly half of the conference participants took part in the walkout.1
The coordinated protest reflected a stark divergence between European and American positions on Russia's involvement in the forum. While the European nations view engagement with Moscow as incompatible with their security concerns arising from the conflict in Ukraine, the U.S. Treasury Deputy Secretary Erin Brown indicated that Washington supported Russia's attendance despite European reservations.1
