World leaders reject Starmer's call for stronger support for Ukraine at G20 summit

World leaders at the G20 summit in Brazil did not support UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's call for a strong statement backing Ukraine. Instead, they issued a neutral statement that did not condemn Russia, despite its increased nuclear threats. Starmer had aimed to unify support for Ukraine as the conflict reached its 1,000th day. However, the final communique lacked strong language against Russia, reflecting the diverse views of G20 members, including Russia itself. In a related development, Russia updated its nuclear doctrine, indicating it might consider attacks from non-nuclear states, backed by nuclear powers, as justification for using its nuclear arsenal.
