G20 agreed on joint statement condemning russia's war against Ukraine: majority voted "for"

On the G20 summit sidelines, the leaders agreed on a joint statement with a clause mentioning the UN General Assembly resolution calling on the russian federation to withdraw troops from the internationally recognized territory of Ukraine and condemning russia's war against Ukraine
Reuters reports this.
As noted in the media outlet, three different diplomatic sources reported that all member countries of the group agreed to the declaration.
According to a member of the German delegation, the text of the project, which was at the mass media's disposal on November 15, remained unchanged.
The text states that "most members condemned Russia's war in Ukraine and stressed it was exacerbating weaknesses in the global economy."
However, they noted that there are still "other views and different assessments of the situation and sanctions."
It also stressed that international law should be followed and threats to use nuclear weapons are unacceptable.
In addition, the leaders welcome the continuation of the "grain corridor" through the Black Sea.
It should be noted that the adoption of the joint declaration was in question for a long time due to significant differences in positions regarding russia's war against Ukraine. In addition, the fact that russia itself is a member of the G20 also affects this.
Ir should also be noted that in a joint statement issued during the G20 summit, the NATO and the G7 leaders condemned the massive russian missile attack on Ukrainian infrastructure that took place on the afternoon of November 15.
"We condemn the barbaric missile attacks that Russia perpetrated on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure on Tuesday.
We discussed the explosion that took place in the eastern part of Poland near the border with Ukraine. We offer our full support for and assistance with Poland's ongoing investigation.
We agree to remain in close touch to determine appropriate next steps as the investigation proceeds," the leaders said.
In the statement, the heads of state also reiterated their support for Ukraine and their readiness to hold russia accountable.
"We express our condolences to the families of the victims in Poland and Ukraine," the leaders added.
G20 summit
It should be noted that one of the most important meetings within the G20 took place the day before yesterday.
Just then, US President Joe Biden met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Biden and Xi talked about relations between countries and the importance of their role in solving global problems.
The war in Ukraine remains one of the key topics at the meeting.
As Rubryka wrote, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky already addressed the participants of the G20 summit. He stated that now was the time when the destructive war could be ended.
Zelensky also emphasized in his speech that it is now important not to let russia wait and build up its forces and then start a new series of terror.
In his speech, he referred to the group as G19 several times, "deleting" russia from it, and explained why any "Minsk-3" is unacceptable for Ukraine.
In addition, the Ukrainian leader proposed 10 points of peace terms with russia. In particular, the russian federation must withdraw its troops from Ukrainian territory and pay reparations to Ukraine for the damage caused.
