In a New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration issued on Saturday, the G20 nations conveyed that the “use, or threat of use, of nuclear weapons is inadmissible”, with the statement being notably brief regarding Russia’s actions in Ukraine and devoid of direct condemnation of Moscow.
The international coalition simply urged for a “comprehensive, just, and durable peace in Ukraine” and emphasised to member nations the importance of refraining from “the threat, or use of force, to seek territorial acquisition”.
The G20 declaration that succeeded the summit in Indonesia the previous year was more specific, referencing a United Nations resolution condemning in “strongest terms… aggression by Russian Federation against Ukraine”.
Ukraine, which was invaded in February of the previous year, found only three mentions in this year’s 37-page declaration, a document that India’s G20 sherpa, Amitabh Kant, asserted had attained unanimous agreement.
The G20 New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration is perceived as a significant step back by Western countries, who were previously noted for advocating for robust language concerning Ukraine and Russia’s involvement in the conflict.
As Russia is part of the G20, no declaration condemning their war would get their support. This was never going to happen.
Expected.
Cowards
Strange… no condemnation of the US and West for preparing the ground for the conflict way back in 2014.
No condemnation of NATO for training the ukranian soldiers since 2014, in Ukraine, and sending weapons to them ever since.
No condemnation of US for pushing the ukranian soldiers into the meatgrinders.
You seem to think Ukrainians have no agency.
