At G20 meeting, U.S. accuses Russian finance officials of complicity in war

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen accused Russian officials attending a G20 finance leaders meeting of being “complicit” in atrocities in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while host India avoided mentioning the year-long war in inaugural remarks.

In remarks on the first anniversary of the Russian invasion, Yellen called on G20 counterparts to “redouble their efforts to support Ukraine and restrict Russia’s capacity to wage war.” Yellen said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “weaponization” of food and energy has hurt not only Ukraine, but the global economy and especially developing countries.

India, which holds the current G20 presidency, does not want the bloc to discuss additional sanctions on Russia and is also pressing to avoid using the word “war” in G20 communiqué language to describe the conflict, G20 officials told Reuters.
