G20 Summit: Navigating Ukraine Crisis without Blaming Russia

The Group of 20 (G20) released a declaration at their summit in New Delhi, India, which did not explicitly condemn Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, in contrast to their statement last year. The G20 acknowledged the negative impacts of the war in Ukraine but did not include any strong language towards Russia. The declaration emphasized that the G20's purpose is for economic discussions rather than security issues, stating that the forum is not the platform to resolve geopolitical matters. The summit, which did not include the leaders of China and Russia, will focus on topics such as food security, digital public infrastructure, and fossil fuel alternatives.
