Russia says G20 declaration 'balanced' as summit moves to final day

The group adopts a consensus declaration that avoided condemning Russia for the war but called on all states not to use force to grab territory

NEW DELHI, India – Russia praised a G20 summit declaration that stopped short of directly criticizing Moscow for the war in Ukraine and said the bloc’s leaders had acted in the interest of conflict resolution as deliberations headed into a second day on Sunday, September 10.

“There were very difficult negotiations on the Ukraine issue; first of all, the collective position of the BRICS countries and partners worked, everything was reflected in a balanced form …”, Svetlana Lukash, the Russian G20 sherpa, or government negotiator, was quoted as saying by Russian news agency Interfax.

“This was not only due to some disagreements on the Ukraine subject, but also due to differences in positions on all key issues, primarily the issues of climate change and the transition to low-carbon energy systems…” The official praised India’s strong leadership, adding that Brazil and South Africa also played a crucial role in the negotiations.
