Finance ministers of the world’s largest economies have failed to agree on a closing statement following a summit in India, after China refused to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Beijing declined to accept parts of a G20 statement that deplored Russia’s aggression “in the strongest terms”.
Moscow said “anti-Russian” Western countries had “destabilised” the G20.
It comes after China this week published a plan to end the conflict that was viewed by some as pro-Russian.
