“We regret that the work of the G20 continues to be destabilized by the collective West and used in an anti-Russian and purely confrontational way,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Russia has accused the West of “destabilizing” the G20 finance ministers meeting in India by trying to “blackmail” a joint communique on Ukraine, which did not happen due to disagreements.
“We regret that the work of the G20 continues to be destabilized by the collective West and used in an anti-Russian and purely confrontational way,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
According to Moscow, the US, EU and G7 “disrupted the adoption of collective decisions” by trying to impose a “dictation” through “clear blackmail” that their interpretation of the conflict in Ukraine appear in the joint communique.
The Russian Foreign Ministry accused Washington and its allies of issuing “ultimatums” to “many delegations”.
“We urge the collective West to renounce its destructive policy as soon as possible to realize the objective realities of a multipolar world,” the statement said.
The finance ministers of the G20 countries strongly condemned Moscow for the war it has launched against Ukraine, and only China and Russia refused to sign the joint communiqué.
India, which chairs the G20, has been reluctant to mention the war in Ukraine, but Western countries have threatened not to sign a text that did not include condemnation of the Russian invasion.
The lack of full consensus among the G20 members resulted in India issuing as chair a summary of the outcome of the two-day Finance Ministers’ meeting talks and the disagreements expressed.
