Most G20 members condemn Ukraine war, except China and Russia

[March 02, 2023]  NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Most members from the Group of 20 nations (G20) strongly condemned the war in Ukraine on Thursday, with only Russia and China disagreeing, current president India said after a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers in New Delhi.
