At a closing summit news conference in New Delhi on Sunday, Trudeau said he pushed for harsher language, but that if other leaders had their way, the declaration would have been much weaker.
"If it was just up to me, it would have been stronger, he said.
"The G20 is an extremely disparate group and we worked very hard to get as strong language as we possibly could," Trudeau told reporters.
Ukraine's existence is contingent on the worldwide popularity of its counteroffensive. It's a tenuous situation, especially when attention spans are short and interests are wavering. Trudeau is quite right to call this out; millions of lives and Ukraine's statehood and culture depend on it. The world cannot grow apathetic, and certainly not resentful towards Ukraine if we want them to survive.
