World leaders avoid condemning Russia's war against Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron says the summit was not necessarily the place to expect diplomatic progress on the matter.
NEW DELHI, India – The G20 summit in New Delhi ended on Sunday, September 10, as India handed over the bloc presidency to Brazil, while both the United States and Russia praised a consensus that did not condemn Moscow for the war in Ukraine but called on members to shun the use of force.
On Saturday, the group adopted a Leaders’ Declaration that avoided condemning Russia for the war but highlighted the human suffering the conflict had caused and called on all states not to use force to grab territory. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters the summit declaration “does a very good job of standing up for the principle that states cannot use force to seek territorial acquisition or to violate the territorial integrity and sovereignty or political independence of other states”.
However, he said in a press conference the G20 declaration was not a diplomatic victory for Russia, which emerged isolated from the summit. The summit document had called for the safe flow of grain, food and fertiliser from both Ukraine and Russia. Biden later left for Vietnam, missing the last session of the summit. The White House said it was not aware of him having any talks with Lavrov or Chinese Premier Li Qiang, who led their country’s delegations at the summit.
