IMF member countries on Friday issued a near-unanimous call for Russia to end its war in Ukraine, the IMF’s steering committee chair said, calling the conflict the single biggest factor fueling inflation and slowing the global economy.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.

But Nadia Calvino, Spain’s economy minister, told a news conference that Russia again blocked consensus on issuing a joint communique during a meeting of the International Monetary and Financial Committee. “It is very clear for just on a human level, practical level, objective level — Stop the war. Stop the war,” IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said. “This is the most straightforward way to get the world economy in better shape. Stop the war.”

Russia’s opposition to such calls forced the IMF steering committee to issue a chair’s statement, Calvino said, adding it reflected strong agreement on many economic issues.
