Air raid alerts continued nationwide in Ukraine Saturday, as Russia and China blocked a statement from the G20 condemning the war, amid new saber-rattling from a Putin ally.
Finance leaders and central bank chiefs from the world’s largest economies meeting in India strongly condemned Moscow for the invasion a year ago, but Russia and China declined to sign a joint statement.
“Most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and stressed that it is causing immense human suffering and exacerbating existing fragilities in the global economy,” the statement said, citing disruption of supply chains, risks to financial stability and continuing energy and food insecurity.AP “We just finished a session in which it was clear that there is a commitment to bridge differences for the benefit of countries,” Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund and co-chair of the roundtable meeting, told reporters.
Hours later, China announced that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a key Russian ally, will visit Beijing in the coming week.
