A majority of the world leaders gathered for the G20 summit are set to condemn Russia’s war on Ukraine, diplomats said on Tuesday, referring to a draft communique being prepared for Wednesday’s closing.
The draft is said to acknowledge differing views on the conflict and sanctions against Russia, and points to security issues not being part of the G20’s agenda.
Unverified reports said the leaders may reach a compromise statement by referring to the “war in Ukraine” rather than “Russia’s war in Ukraine”.
UAE President Sheikh Mohamed, who attended the summit, said the challenges faced by the world could only be addressed through conversation and joint efforts, and affirmed the country’s position in pursuing a better future for everyone.
