Fox News
The Group of 20 released a statement avoiding criticism of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, stressing that its purpose was for economic cooperation rather than security issues.
While the G20 acknowledged "human suffering and negative added impacts of the war in Ukraine," their statement did not include any harsh language towards Russia.
"Concerning the war in Ukraine, while recalling the discussion in Bali, we reiterated our national positions and resolutions adopted at the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly […] and underscored that all states must act in a manner consistent with the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter in its entirety," the joint statement read.
