What are world leaders saying about Russia and Ukraine at G20?
World leaders have condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine as they gather for a tense Group of 20 (G20) nations meeting in Bali. As the two-day summit opened on Tuesday, Indonesia, the host nation, made a plea for unity despite rifts within the G20 – which includes Russia – over the conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the group, which he referred to in a video address as “the G19”, in an apparent snub to Russia, to stop the war with his “peace formula”. Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister and top representative at the summit, was reportedly in the room when Zelenskyy made his address. Lavrov later accused Ukraine of dragging out the conflict.
