India, which holds the presidency of the bloc this year, declines to blame Russia for the war and seeks a diplomatic solution while sharply boosting its purchases of Russian oil.
NEW DELHI, India – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on foreign ministers from the Group of 20 nations on Thursday, March 2, to find common ground on global issues as he inaugurated a meeting that looks set to be dominated by Russia’s year-long war in Ukraine.
Russia said it would use the meeting to tell the world who, according to Moscow, was responsible for the political and economic crises the world finds itself in. Speaking on the sidelines of the meeting, Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra told reporters Russia was solely responsible for the war and must continue to be sanctioned.
