G20 summit: Why was Ukraine disappointed by the summit announcement?

The Group of 20 (G20) summit in the Indian capital Delhi concluded its work on Sunday, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi handing over the presidency to Brazil, which will host the next summit.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva told reporters in Delhi that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be arrested if he attends the summit in Rio de Janeiro.

In the absence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on suspicion of war crimes in Ukraine, US President Joe Biden and heads of state attended the summit.

Countries participating in the summit adopted a declaration on the ambiguity of the war in Ukraine and its failure to phase out fossil fuels.

The declaration, agreed unanimously by countries on Saturday, stopped short of condemning Russia’s war in Ukraine but highlighted the human suffering caused by the conflict and called on all countries to refrain from using force to seize territory.

Ukraine has expressed its disappointment at the G20 summit speech on the war.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said the G-20 was “nothing to be proud of,” while “thanking those who tried to insert strong words into the text.”

In his Facebook post, a teacher quoted the language of an ad about red corrections on exam papers.

The amendments included a reference to Russia – which was not clear in the text agreed in Delhi – and replaced the neutral phrase “war in Ukraine” with the more expressive “war against Ukraine”.

The absence of any reference to Russian “aggression” (which was in the last declaration agreed to at the Bali summit in November) is difficult for Ukraine to see, given how its Western backers argue to characterize the war in the “Global South”. .

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva bid farewell to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi after taking over the presidency of the Brazil summit from India.

For Russia, its Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described the summit as a success. He said that due to the global South’s unified stance, Russia was able to ensure that the conflict in Ukraine did not hang on the summit’s agenda.

Describing the announcement as balanced, Russian negotiator Svetlana Lukash said the summit saw “very difficult negotiations on the Ukraine issue”, according to Russia’s Interfax news agency.

“It took 20 days to agree the pre-summit declaration and five days on site,” Lucas said.

Russia agreed to the joint statement despite the absence of President Putin at the summit in Delhi. It replaced the president with its foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.

According to the official Russian news agency Tass, the leaders of the G20 summit countries acknowledged differences in visions on Ukraine in a joint statement.

Leaders reached a consensus on the report on Saturday.

Although the joint declaration addressed human suffering in Ukraine, it did not directly condemn Russia.

Last year’s G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, “strongly condemned the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine, while noting the objections of some countries to this position.

In international reactions, both the US and the UK praised the joint declaration of the G20 summit.

US National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan described the statement as a “significant breakthrough”, a “vote of confidence that the G-20 can come together to address many pressing issues”.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the joint declaration contained “very strong language” about the war in Ukraine. “What you see in the ad is strong language, highlighting the impact of war on food prices and food security,” he said.
