Meeting of G20 finance ministers ends without final declaration. Brazil, as the host of the G20 meeting, does not consider a meeting of finance ministers to be the right forum to clarify such geopolitical questions.

There should be no habituation effect that would virtually normalize the war against Ukraine. There is the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, the terror of Hamas and the humanitarian situation in Gaza. “All of this cannot leave us indifferent, it must also be discussed here,” he said.
