G20 leaders’ declaration ‘confirms’ Russia’s isolation: Macron on Ukraine conflict

The G20 leaders’ declaration “confirms” Russia’s isolation on the Ukraine crisis and India’s presidency of the bloc did its best to send across a message of unity and peace to the world, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday.

At a media briefing, he also said that the G20 is not a forum for political discussions and that a “vast majority” of countries of the grouping have “condemned” the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“This G20 confirms once again the isolation of Russia. Today, an overwhelming majority of G20 members condemn the war in Ukraine and its impact,” Macron said.
