{Leaders from the world’s strongest economies have gathered in the Australian city of Brisbane, commencing the G20 summit, with the crisis in Ukraine expected to take centre-stage.}<\/p>\n
The two-day summit, which began on Saturday, promises to be a showdown between Western leaders and Russian President Vladimir Putin, amid fresh reports of Russian troops pouring into eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Al Jazeera’s Scot Heidler, reporting from Brisbane, said: “We thought that it [Russia-Ukraine issue] would hijack the discussions. It definitely distracted the initial couple of hours of the summit, but it hasn’t really hijacked it.”<\/p>\n
At a news conference in Canberra on Friday, British Prime Minister David Cameron blasted Russia’s actions as “unacceptable”, warning they could draw greater sanctions from the United States and the European Union.<\/p>\n
