The G20 failed to approve a declaration on behalf of all foreign ministers, the West wanted to bring the situation around Ukraine to the forefront, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Thursday at a press conference following a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) of the G20 in New Delhi.
"Unfortunately, the declaration on behalf of all G20 ministers could not be approved. Our Western colleagues, just as they did a year ago under the Indonesian presidency, tried by all means, and various rhetorical statements, to bring to the fore the situation around Ukraine, which they, of course, 'served' with the so-called Russian aggression 'sauce'," he said.
