However, Putin seems to\u200d be facing a frustrating snub, as \u2062Biden&#8217;s team plans to exclude foreign officials who \u2062have been sanctioned, even the Kremlin chief who sees \u200chimself as an heir to Czar Peter the Great.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. has\u2064 informed us through\u200c bilateral channels\u2064 that this year they are not going\u2063 to invite\u200b a number of leaders because of the sanctions \u2063restrictions that apply \u2063to them,\u201d Berdyyev complained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In recent months, Putin has been \u2064selective\u2063 about which international events \u200dhe attends. He was forced \u2064to make a virtual appearance at the BRICS summit in South Africa due to the host nation&#8217;s \u200cobligation \u2062to\u2062 arrest him on\u200c behalf of \u200cthe\u200d International Criminal Court.\u200d Putin \u2063also skipped the \u2062subsequent G20 summit in India, but he is \u200bexpected to travel to China next month.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s decision to exclude Putin coincides with Russia&#8217;s attempt to \u200bimprove\u2064 its \u2064diplomatic standing. Russian envoys are campaigning for a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council,\u200d despite\u2062 ongoing allegations of torture and\u2062 rape\u200b committed by Russian\u200d forces in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cRussian soldiers raped and committed \u2062sexual violence against women of ages ranging \u200dfrom 19\u200c to 83 years,\u201d former Norwegian judge \u200dErik \u200bMose,\u200c who chairs the United Nation\u2019s independent \u200ccommission of inquiry on Ukraine, \u200ctold \u200bthe U.N.

Human\u200d Rights Council \u2064last year, and now they are\u200c competing against Albania and Bulgaria for two available seats.

The Biden administration has been clear in its criticism of Russia&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/netanyahu-looms-over-israeli-presidents-speech-to-congress-amid-democratic-split\/\" title=\"Netanyahu overshadows Israeli president's Congress speech amidst Democratic divide.\">human rights\u200c abuses<\/a>, cyberattacks, and interference in democratic processes. As a result, \u200csanctions\u2063 have been imposed on a\u200c number of \u200bRussian officials, including\u2063 some close\u200b to \u2063Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Excluding Putin from the summit sends\u2064 a strong message that the\u200b United \u200dStates does not view him as a legitimate international leader. It also aligns with \u2063the Biden administration&#8217;s goal \u200bof isolating Russia diplomatically and economically.<\/p>\n<p>While Putin may be disappointed by the snub,\u200c it \u2062is unlikely\u2063 to\u200d significantly \u200cimpact his\u200d position on\u200b the international stage. He has consistently pursued his \u200bown agenda, regardless of the opinions \u2063of other world leaders. Putin has relied heavily\u2062 on his strongman image \u200dand the\u2064 perception that he is a powerful leader who \u200bcannot \u200dbe ignored. \u2062This perception has been\u200b reinforced by his recent actions in Ukraine and Crimea, where he \u200bhas demonstrated a willingness to\u200b use military force to \u200dachieve his goals.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Russia still has significant influence in various\u200c regions\u2064 and\u2062 can exert its power through other means. Putin has been forging closer alliances \u2063with countries\u200d like China and Turkey, creating alternative power structures that do not \u200crely on \u200binclusion\u2062 in Western-led summits. Additionally, Russia&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russia-pleads-for-biden-to-invite-putin-to-apec-summit-in-san-francisco\/\" title=\"Russia urges Biden to include Putin at APEC summit in San Francisco.\">vast energy\u200d resources continue<\/a> to give it leverage in global affairs.<\/p>\n<p>In the end,\u2062 the decision to exclude Putin from the APEC summit is a reflection of the current state of the relationship between the United States and\u2064 Russia. It is a clear message that the Biden\u2062 administration will not overlook Russia&#8217;s actions\u200b and will hold Putin accountable for his behavior. \u200dWhether or not \u2062Putin attends the \u200csummit, it is unlikely to change the dynamics of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/29-gop-legislators-give-white-house-bad-news-about-ukraine-funding-on-the-day-zelenskyy-visits-dc\/\" title=\"29 GOP lawmakers deliver negative news to White House on Ukraine funding during Zelenskyy's DC visit.\">broader geopolitical landscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking an invite to an economic summit, yet President Joe Biden holds the power to decide who attends.
