G20 leaders condemn war in Ukraine in draft declaration

A draft of a declaration by G20 leaders strongly denounced the war in Ukraine and highlighted how it was contributing toward escalating economic fragilities throughout the world.

Earlier, Russia tried to veer the focus from its war on Ukraine by insisting that G20 was not the platform to discuss security issues and that it should rather prioritize economic challenges.

Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told DW that he was pleased to hear that most G20 members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine.
