Indonesia president tells G20 leaders they must end the Russian war against Ukraine
The President of Indonesian Joko Widodo told G20 members to “end the war” as he opened a leaders’ summit Tuesday in Bali that will be dominated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
For the Russians to be responsible means creating non zero-sum situations, being responsible also means that they must end the war.

If the war does not end, it will be difficult for the world to move forward,” he told leaders ahead of the summit’s opening session.
Eyeing a joint G20 declaration that would condemn Russia’s eight-month-old invasion and threats to use nuclear weapons, the United States and European officials have painted the summit in Bali as evidence of Russia’s deepening isolation.

“We should not divide the world into parts. We must not allow the world to fall into another Cold War,” he said.
Russia was represented by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, with its president, President Vladimir Putin shunning the gathering.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the meeting virtually.
G20 leaders are gathered in Bali as soaring inflation stoked by Moscow’s invasion is driving millions into poverty and tips several nations toward recession.
The United States allies hope the economic headwinds created by the war will bring over G20 nations that, while cautious about denouncing Russia, are also deeply concerned about rising prices.
Widodo also said the bloc of the world’s major economies must succeed in handling the world’s most pressing crises.
“Today, the world’s eye is on us. Will we score a success? Or will we add one more failure?” he asked delegates present.
“For me, the G20 must be successful, it must not fail.”
