India G20: Bitter divisions over Ukraine war mar talks:

 Russia's war in Ukraine has dominated G20 discussions, with hosts India claiming that there will be no common statement as a result of the heated confrontations.

The US secretary of state claimed that Russia's "unprovoked and unlawful war" had ruined the conference.

Invoking "blackmail and threats," the foreign minister of Russia charged the West.

India claimed that the disagreements over Ukraine "could not be addressed," preventing it from concentrating on other concerns affecting developing countries.

The divide between the nations was too great, the foreign minister of India, S. Jaishankar, remarked.

The G20, which consists of the European Union and the world's 19 richest countries, generates 85% of the world's economic output and two-thirds of its population.

the foreign ministers of the group, notably Sergey Lavrov of Russia and Antony Blinken Under India's president, the US and Qin Gang of China met in Delhi. Since the battle started a little over a year ago, the senior American and Russian officials have not really spoken to one another.

Sergei Lavrov, the country's foreign minister, is in charge of the mission.

The West will support Ukraine "for as long as it takes," Mr. Blinken assured Mr. Lavrov during their brief encounter on the margins, according to a senior state department official. Also, Mr. Blinken urged Russia to adhere to the conditions of the New Start nuclear weapons control deal, from which it just withdrew.

Russian authorities rejected Any discussions had been held. Russia had already claimed that the West had "buried" a deal to enable some grain exports from Ukraine, but the US retaliated by claiming that Moscow was impeding Ukrainian exports.

Russian authorities said that Beijing and Moscow had reached an understanding to reject what they referred to as Western extortion and threats, but China hasn't verified this.

"We discuss etiquette. Our Western counterparts, however, have really struggled with them, "After the meetings on Thursday, Mr. Lavrov stated. They no longer consider diplomacy; instead, they exclusively trade in threats and blackmail against other people.

India's G20 goals are hampered by the conflict in Ukraine:

Why India stays silent on Russia's actions in Ukraine?

In his opening remarks, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned that international conflicts were putting Risk to sustainable development.

He stated, "Many emerging nations are battling with unmanageable debts while attempting to secure food and energy security.

They are also most impacted by global warming brought on by wealthier nations.

Mr. Modi delivered his speech in English for the first time, which shows how seriously he wanted his point to be taken. Although he avoided directly mentioning the conflict in Ukraine, he did recognise that geopolitical concerns would influence the conversations.

Sessions on terrorism, food security, development cooperation, and humanitarian aid were all on Thursday's agenda, reflecting India's goals while holding the G20 chair.

An ex-Indian diplomat told the BBC ahead of the talks that India would need to "do something spectacular" to persuade participants to set aside their differences on the It was anticipated that India's ability to form a consensus would be put to the test by tense relations between the US and China, which has refused to condemn Russia's invasion.

After Thursday's discussions, Foreign Minister Jaishankar was forced to deliver what is known as a chair's summary, indicating that participants were unable to come to an agreement on a statement. The only nations who refused to agree to denounce the war were Russia and China.

However Mr. Jaishankar noted that "on the majority of topics we were able to get an outcome paper," indicating that India was successful in achieving its primary goal of speaking up for the Global South.

When the G20 leaders convene in September, there are still a few months for diplomacy, and Delhi will hope that its presidency doesn't end ona negative note.

According to experts, Delhi also had to delicately strike a balance between its non-aligned stance on the conflict and appeals to other countries to find ways to cooperate.

India has withstood pressure and kept up its policy of not publicly criticising Russia, the country's top arms supplier. Iran often abstains from casting a vote on UN resolutions denouncing the conflict in Ukraine, most recently last week during the UN General Assembly.

Additionally, it has defended its choice to expand its Russian oil imports by claiming that it must take care of its populace's necessities.

The UN Charter, international law, and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states have all been mentioned as being important in its historical remarks about Ukraine.
