The G20, already underway in Bali, Indonesia, has produced a document condemning the war that a “majority” of countries have signed. Ukraine is not a member, but its president, Volodimir Zelenskyhas intervened to affirm that “this is the moment in which the war must and can be stopped”.
Zelenski has intervened telematically from kyiv, upon his return from Kherson, where on Monday he wanted to see first-hand the ravages of the passage of Russian troops and sent a message of hope to his people. The national flag is flying again in its squares and in its institutions. From there he said “we are ready for peace throughout the country.”
“We will not allow Russia to take a breather, rebuild its forces and then start a new episode of terror and destabilization,” the president told the G20 leaders, including the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey LavrovIn absence of Vladimir Putin.
This Monday, while Zelensky was visiting Kherson, the presidents of the United States met in Bali, Joe Bidenand Chinese, Xi Jinping, with Ukraine as one of the central issues. CIA Director, William Burnswas in Turkey with the head of Russian intelligence.
