Tensions over Russia's war on Ukraine flared Friday at meetings of financial chiefs of the Group of 20 leading economies, where geopolitics affected the atmosphere if not the agenda of the gathering in the Indian technology hub of Bengaluru.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen condemned the “illegal and unjustified war against Ukraine” at a session attended by Russian officials and reiterated calls for G-20 nations to do more to support Ukraine and hinder Moscow's war effort.

“There is no choice between whether we focus on Ukraine or focus on other important global issues like climate change. In the end if we don't resolve global security threats, there can be no progress on these other areas,” Hunt said. “In Bali, high level leaders decided on strong condemnation of the brutal attack by Russia and as finance ministers we must stick to it,” French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told reporters at a news conference. He said he would walk out if the gathering failed to evince a strong stance against the war.

“You represent the leadership of global finance and economy at a time when the world is facing serious economic difficulties,” Modi said in a video address. Multiple meetings between various leaders were also taking place, including talks between India's finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, and her counterparts from France and Brazil.
