G20 leaders remain divided on Ukraine and Gaza conflicts at Brazil summit
Leaders at the G20 summit in Brazil have called for a ceasefire in Gaza and a peace deal in Ukraine, but remain divided on how to achieve these goals. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese supports increased pressure on Russia, aligning with leaders from the US, UK, Canada, and Europe. The summit's joint declaration expressed concern over humanitarian crises in Gaza and Ukraine but did not condemn Russia's invasion. Turkish President Recep Erdogan proposed a truce that would allow Russia to retain occupied territory, contrasting with Albanese's stance. US President Joe Biden authorized the use of long-range missiles for Ukraine, escalating tensions. Russian officials criticized this move, warning it could worsen the conflict. The summit highlighted ongoing divisions among member nations regarding support for Ukraine.
