The leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies issued a statement condemning Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
The final and strongly worded communique, issued on Wednesday following a two-day summit in Indonesia, stated that the majority of members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine, but noted that other points of view existed.
“Many members… expressed concern about the damage caused by the conflict on critical health infrastructure, as well as casualties in health care workers, which have disproportionately affected the most vulnerable, women and children,” said the declaration.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who is also in Bali for the summit, has warned that it is “absolutely essential” to avoid escalation of the Ukrainian conflict.
His remarks came in the aftermath of an explosion in Poland, a NATO member, which sparked fears that the alliance would be drawn directly into Russia’s nearly nine-month war against Western-backed Ukraine.
