The G20 declaration on the Ukraine war was reached on the first day of the summit, but while Rishi Sunak has praised the 'very strong language,' Ukraine disagreed, calling the wording of the agreement 'nothing to be proud of'.
Oleg Nikolenko, spokesman for the foreign ministry, wrote on Facebook:"It is clear that the participation of the Ukrainian side [in the G20 meeting] would have allowed the participants to better understand the situation."said the communique used"very strong language" about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the war's impact on food prices and the need for a revival of the Black Sea grain deal.
Ahead of the summit, Downing Street said Mr Sunak would use his meeting with Mr Modi to push India to take a stronger stance towards Russia. Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, said the declaration demonstrated a clear position on Russia's invasion of Ukraine by saying that the territorial integrity of countries cannot be called into question with violence.
Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine - which Moscow has termed a"special operation" to"demilitarise" the country - has left tens of thousands of dead and caused global economic turmoil.
