 China also opposes Russia's occupation policy. Chinese representatives participating in the negotiations on the final communique of the G-20 summit have changed their neutral position on the war in Ukraine to a more pro-Ukrainian one. Bloomberg reported this, citing a senior French official on condition of anonymity. China's past and neutral position had effectively benefited Moscow. However, Beijing takes a softer line compared to last year, the official says. This is important given the position of Western countries which called on China to put pressure on Russia to end the war, Bloomberg writes. The French official said that all G-20 countries have agreed on a common approach regarding the war in Ukraine, at the same time India, which hosts this year's G-20 summit, still refuses to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Bloomberg emphasizes. The summit in New Delhi will be held on the 9th to the 10th of September. Ukraine was not included in the countries invited to the G-20 summit. The Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be at the summit either, instead the Russian Federation will be represented by Sergey Lavrov, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
