The statement warned that the conflict was already a difficult one. The world economy is deteriorating. The summit’s final statement is noteworthy. Because despite divisions within the group that include not only Russia but also countries like China and India that have significant trade ties with Moscow, world leaders have managed to condemn the war, This is because criticism of the war has stagnated. “Most Member States strongly condemned the war in Ukraine, emphasizing that it has caused immeasurable human suffering and exacerbated the existing fragility of the global economy,” the statement said.
S. President Joe Biden hastily arranged an emergency meeting with the G-7 and NATO members gathered at the summit. Poland said a Russian-made missile was responsible for the explosion near the Ukrainian border and was investigating what happened. Biden said it was “unlikely” that the missile was launched from Russia, and said he supported the Polish investigation.
Biden told reporters when asked if the missile was launched from Russia, he said, “We have preliminary information that disputes this.” Biden said leaders such as China’s President Xi Jinping, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Britain’s new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attended the G-20. Speaking to reporters at the end of the meeting, Snak described the attack as “the brutal and unforgiving reality of Putin’s war.” While cooperating, Putin launched indiscriminate attacks on Ukrainian civilians,” Sunak said.
The careful wording of the G20’s final statement reflected the tensions at the meeting and the challenges facing the United States and its allies as they attempt to isolate the Putin government. China’s backing of official anti-Russian statements surprised some. Analyst Carton said Beijing likely did so because Chinese President Xi Jinping “doesn’t want to support the losers” after Russia’s defeat in the Ukrainian city of Kherson.
