Ahead of G-20 Foreign Ministers meeting, Russia accuses the U.S. and its allies of ‘open blackmail’

The Hindu  

A day after the G-20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting in Bengaluru failed to issue a joint communique, Russia praised the role of the Indian Presidency of the G-20 and accused Western countries of “open blackmail”. A statement from Moscow’s Foreign Ministry said Russia and China protested against the United States and its allies, accusing them of sowing “enmity and hatred”. “Through open blackmail and dictate, throwing in absurd interpretations of the situation in Ukraine, the Westerners once against disrupted the adoption of collective decisions,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday. On Saturday evening, the FMCBG meeting of the G-20 member countries ended even as the world marked a year since the destructive war in Ukraine was started by Russia’s so called “special military operation”. “As a result, the fully approved text of the document, except for the wording on Ukraine, which give out for assessments of the discussion at the ministerial meeting something that was not actually discussed and is unrelated to the topic of its jurisdiction, had become a hostage to this aggressive line,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said, adding that Russia and China “expressed a resolute protest “ against “ultimatum actions by the United States and its allies”.
