NEW DELHI: Joint declaration at the G-20 summit without strongly condemning Russia on the Ukraine issue. The joint declaration said the conflict in Ukraine must be resolved under the UN Charter. The joint declaration said that there should be no invasion into any country, the threat of using nuclear weapons is unacceptable, and there should be no military action in view of food and energy security.

The reference does not mention Russia by name, which is an advantage for Russia. Russia and China had earlier demanded that the Ukraine war be excluded from the joint declaration.

The use or threat of nuclear weapons is unacceptable. According to the UN Charter, all countries should refrain from the threat or use of force to challenge the sovereignty of other countries and carry out territorial acquisitions. All countries must be ready to uphold the principles of international law. Conflicts should be resolved peacefully. Efforts to address crises, diplomacy and negotiation are important. Today's era is not one of war. The joint declaration said, "We welcome relevant and constructive steps in support of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine."
