G20 cuts support for Ukraine amid pressure on peace talks - Financial Times

At the G20 (G20) summit held in Rio de Janeiro, a declaration was adopted, in which there is a weakening of support for Ukraine from world leaders. An analysis of this document by the Financial Times points to growing pressure on Ukraine, as well as the world community, to end the war through peace talks with Russia.

In it, only one paragraph is devoted to Ukraine, compared to seven that were at the last summit in New Delhi.

The previously agreed criticism of Russia has softened and contains only a general reference to the "human suffering" caused by the invasion. And there is no criticism of attacks on civilian infrastructure and nuclear threats.

The statement agreed yesterday referred to the "negative collateral consequences of war" and welcomed "initiatives that support a comprehensive, just and lasting peace".

Although the "Big 20" have refused to openly condemn the invasion of the Russian Federation for the second year in a row, last year's statement was much more specific.

The source said that some European countries tried to make the wording tougher, "but nobody wanted to go too far, otherwise there would be a fight and there would be no statement."

As a result, the central themes of the declaration are taxation of the super-rich, poverty reduction, a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, reform of the UN Security Council, and climate change.
