"Group of 20 countries divided over war sanctions against Russia"

The Group of 20 (G20) countries are experiencing growing divisions over war sanctions against Russia, with some nations skeptical of the U.S.-led efforts to punish Moscow for its actions in Ukraine. The U.S. and its allies argue that the sanctions have successfully restricted Russian revenue, but Russia and China have formed a partnership and are increasing trade in their local currencies to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. The G20 summit in India is expected to highlight these divisions, as well as the budding closeness between the U.S. and India in light of shared concerns about China. The fragmented economic and political environment poses challenges for negotiations on securing food and energy supplies for developing countries.
