RIO DE JANEIRO (Sputnik) - Russia agrees with item on Ukraine in the final G20 declaration on the importance of conflict resolution, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
The West tried to push an "only Ukraine agenda" to the G20 final declaration, but other countries insisted that other conflicts should be included too, Lavrov said.
"There is also a paragraph on Ukraine, which we agreed with, because the main thing in it is a call for an honest and reasonable conversation about peace on realistic grounds," Lavrov told a press conference following the G20 summit.
