Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the G20 countries did not agree on a final joint statement due to disagreements over the situation in Ukraine.
And the Russian foreign minister added in a press statement today, Thursday: “Unfortunately, it was not possible to agree on a declaration on behalf of all the G20 ministers. Our Western colleagues, as happened a year ago under the Indonesian presidency, insisted on using lies, first of all unfair.” And with various speeches, put the Ukrainian crisis at the forefront of problems, which they want to call “Russian aggression”.
Lavrov explained that the West insisted on reproducing the text on the situation in Ukraine, which was agreed upon at last year’s G-20 summit in Bali, completely ignoring our arguments that many events have happened since then, including “sincere confessions” of the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former French President Francois Hollande, former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and current President Volodymyr Zelensky that none of them would comply with the Minsk agreements and the purpose of signing the Minsk agreements in terms of “Western interests are to buy time, to supply Ukraine with weapons and prepare it for war against the Russian Federation. They (the Foreign Ministers) categorically refused to mention this fact.”
The Russian Foreign Minister also noted that the foreign ministers of Western countries in the G20 “refused in this context to recognize another fact that reflects the events that have occurred since then – the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines. document reflecting the need for an impartial and honest investigation was categorically rejected by our Western partners.”
