G20 Summit: Following his arrival in Bali for the Group of 20 meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was taken to the hospital, according to Indonesian officials on Monday.
Three Indonesian government and health officials informed the sources that the Russian envoy was receiving treatment on the vacation island.
They were all forbidden from speaking publicly about the incident, therefore they all declined to be identified.
Two witnesses claim that Lavrov is receiving treatment for a heart condition.

It was impossible to immediately get a comment from the Russian Embassy.
Russian President Putin had previously decided to skip the G20 summit due to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, and if reports are to be believed, it is because he is concerned about an assassination attempt.
According to reports, Putin aide and Russian political strategist Sergey Markov stated that there is a high likelihood that he will be assassinated by “from the special services of the U.S., Britain and Ukraine.”
During Putin’s time as president, there have likely been over a dozen assassination attempts, according to Rebekah Koffler, a former DIA intelligence officer. He said, however, that the idea that US or British intelligence would concoct a scheme is “baseless” and a “Russian deception.”
