Modi cited the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, rising debt levels, disruptions to supply chains and threats to food and energy security as key concerns. Such stand-offs have become increasingly common in the G20, a forum created over 20 years ago in response to past economic crises but which has recently been hobbled by differences between Western nations and others including China and Russia., Yellen urged G20 economies to redouble efforts to support Ukraine and restrict Russia’s capacity to wage war.
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and central bank governor Elvira Nabiullina did not attend, with Moscow represented by deputies. Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a “special military operation.”Leaders of the wealthy G7 democracies issued a statement pledging to continually deepen sanctions against those aiding Russia’s war effort after they had a virtual meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Britain also issued more sanctions against Russia, including export bans on every item it has used on the battlefield and import bans on iron and steel goods.
