World leaders at the G20 summit released a joint statement in which they condemned the aggression and demanded the “complete and unconditional withdrawal” of Russian troops from Ukraine. According to the BBC, the declaration was signed by the “majority” of the member states of the group of 20 most developed countries in the world and emphasizes that the war strengthens the weaknesses of the world economy.

The joint document states that the G20 participants announced their national positions, including the UN resolution, which “expresses the strongest regret over the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and demands its complete and unconditional withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine.”

“The majority of members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and emphasized that it is causing enormous human suffering and exacerbating weaknesses in the global economy — exacerbating inflation, disrupting supply chains, strengthening energy and food security, and increasing risks to financial stability,” the statement said. said..

G20 members also demonstrate in a joint statement that central banks need to remain independent to take action against inflation.

“There were other opinions and different assessments of the situation and sanctions,” the statement sent after the summit also reads. It is unclear if this official statement was accepted by all members, but since Russia is a member of the G20, it seems unlikely. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who is leading his country’s delegation in the absence of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, condemned the attempt to condemn Russia as Western politicization, saying Moscow had put forward an alternative point of view.

Also at the G20 summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said during a video conference that the time has come to end Russia’s war in his country, and presented a plan to end hostilities with 10 conditions.
