"The declaration was adopted unanimously. It is usually adopted at the end of the summit, but there was a feeling during bilateral negotiations on Friday and Saturday that it was necessary to adopt the declaration first and then move on to other issues," a source familiar with the matter told Sputnik.
The declaration calls for a sustainable settlement in Ukraine. The situation in Ukraine is mentioned in the declaration among other conflicts which require a sustainable peaceful solution, the source added.
The annual G20 summit got underway on Saturday in the South African city of Johannesburg, with all meetings and speeches but for President Cyril Ramaphosa's opening address being off limits to the media.
