U.S. President Joe Biden, left, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attend an emergency meeting of leaders at the G20 summit after a missile landed in Poland near the Ukrainian border, Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022, in Nusa Dua, Indonesia. – Members of the Group of 20 leading economies ended their summit Wednesday with a declaration of firm condemnation ofand a warning that the conflict is making an already delicate world economy worse.
Even so, the statement's use of language from a March U.N. resolution that deplored “in the strongest terms the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine” and demanded “its complete and unconditional withdrawal" from Ukrainian territory was a “big breakthrough,” according to John Kirton, director of the G20 Research Group.
Biden said it was “unlikely” that the missile was fired from Russia, and he pledged support for Poland’s investigation. Sunak, speaking to reporters at the close of the meeting, called the attacks"the cruel and unrelenting reality of Putin's war.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who led the Russian delegation in place of Putin, denounced the Biden administration push to condemn Moscow.Beijing likely did so because Chinese President Xi Jinping “doesn’t want to back a loser" after Russia's defeat in the Ukrainian city of Kherson, said Kirton, the analyst.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed hope that a vital deal brokered by Turkey and the U.N. to export Ukrainian grain would be extended before it expires Sunday.
