 "G20 Summit 2023: Russian FM attacks West's unfulfilled promises on climate change, says THIS about Ukraine")
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who attended the G20 Summit in place of President Vladimir Putin said that the “West is unable to maintain an intelligent discussion as soon as we start talking about Ukraine.” His comments came after India formally handed over the G20 Presidency to Brazil on Sunday. “As soon as we start talking about Ukraine, the West is unable to maintain an intelligent discussion, all it can do is demand that Russia stop its aggression and restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity, but the UN charter also mentioned the principle of equality,” the Russian minister said.

“The Kyiv regime destroyed the territorial integrity of its country with its own hand…I believe that some of our Western colleagues understand it too but you know very well that they are placing their bets on Russia’s strategic defeat,” he added. ‘Summit has been a milestone’ Lavrov also hailed India’s presidency after the global event concluded. “It is a long way to go but this Summit has been a milestone… I would also like to mention the active role of the Indian presidency that has genuinely consolidated the G20 countries from the Global South for the first time in history,” he said.

“Our BRICS partners- Brazil, India, China, South Africa have been particularly active and thanks to these consolidated positions taken by the Global South countries to uphold and protect their legitimate interests,” he added. Slamming the West for not fulfilling its promises, Lavrov said, “The West also had long ago promised even 100 billion US dollars per year to prepare economists to counter the negative consequences of climate change, but nothing on that has been done.”
