G20 presidents condemn “Russian aggression” in Ukraine in a statement
The communique states that international law must be followed and declares it unacceptable for nuclear weapons to be threatened. In a statement, the heads of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies expressed their “strongest condemnation” of Russia’s assault against Ukraine.
The majority of members, according to the proclamation, vehemently criticized the war in Ukraine, but there were differing opinions. Russia did not immediately respond with a statement.
The statement stated that international law must be followed and declared it unacceptable for nuclear weapons to be threatened. As the war has kept much-needed grain from reaching global markets, it supported the Black Sea grain project.
According to the communiqué, “several members vehemently opposed Russia’s illegal, unjustified, and unprovoked campaign of aggression against Ukraine and called for an end to the war.”
These members “expressed worry over the conflict’s harm to vital health infrastructure and the deaths of health care personnel, which have disproportionately harmed the most vulnerable, including women and children.”
The world economy was being harmed by the fighting in Ukraine, it claimed. The proclamation further stated that the central banks of the members would keep appropriately gauging the rate of tightening of monetary policy.
After a two-day conference in Bali, Indonesia, the declaration was made. It is “extremely crucial to prevent worsening the war in Ukraine,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautioned while visiting Bali.
His remarks followed an explosion in NATO member Poland that instantly raised worries that the organization would be sucked into Russia’s nearly nine-month conflict with West-backed Ukraine.
In order to keep the increase in world temperatures to 1.5°C (2.7°F), leaders decided to step up their efforts to “phase down” the continued use of coal.
The declaration released at the conclusion of the meeting stated, “We resolve to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C. This will require genuine, effective action on the part of all nations, as well as commitment.”
