The effort comes as global inflation and slowing economies have put new pressures on countries that imposed penalties on Russia for a nine-month war.
NUSA DUA, Indonesia — President Joe Biden is set to cajole the world's largest economies to further isolate Russia diplomatically and economically over its invasion of Ukraine despite a souring global outlook that has tested other nations' resolve.
It remained to be seen how many nations would embrace the tough language or whether the document would refer to Russia's actions as a"war" — a phrase Moscow has sought to avoid, despite the devastating losses sustained by its military. The summit schedule does not include a"family photo" of leaders, which would avoid a potentially awkward moment of interaction with the Russian representative, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. It remained to be seen how Biden and U.S. allies would react when Lavrov is recognized to speak during the summit's closed sessions. Some Europeans have discussed potentially walking out of the meeting in a display of protest of Russia's invasion.
