Details: According to Politico, the language used by Western countries to signal further condemnation of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine could appease Moscow’s complaints that attacks inside Russia have intensified since Ukraine's counteroffensive began.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday defended the United States' decision to accept the joint statement by G20 leaders on Russia's war in Ukraine.

Quote from Blinken: "I was in the room when all the leaders spoke today with President Biden and it was very clear from everything that they said that not only do they want to see this war end, but they want to see it end on just and durable terms and it was also very clear that the consequences of Russia’s aggression are being felt throughout the G20 countries and throughout the developing world 

I think it’s very important that the G20 spoke as one. To some extent, maybe it’s the G19, because obviously, Russia is also here as part of the G20."
