<p>In his post on the social media platform X, Nikolenko posted a picture of the declaration in which he scrapped out a few parts of the statement with red and replaced them with wordings Kyiv claims are more suitable to be included in the text.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We call on all states to uphold the principles of international law including territorial integrity and sovereignty, international humanitarian law, and the multilateral system that safeguards peace and stability. The peaceful resolution of conflicts and efforts to address crises as well as diplomacy and dialogue are critical," mentions the Delhi Declaration shared after Indian PM announced its adoption.</p>

<p>Indian foreign minister S Jaishankar held a press conference after the Delhi Declaration was adopted. In the presser, Jaishankar made comments on the issue of the Ukraine war as well. The external affairs minister said,&nbsp;"They dwelt on the ongoing war in Ukraine and the impact it has had, especially on developing and least developing nations still recovering from the pandemic and economic disruption."<br />
<br />
Jaishankar said: “It is a fact that this is today a very polarising issue and there are multiple views on this. There are a spectrum of views on this, so I think in all fairness it was only right to record what was the reality in the meeting rooms.”<br />
<br />
“Considerable time was spent — especially in the last few days — in regard to geopolitical issues, which really centered around the war in Ukraine,” Jaishankar said, adding further,&nbsp;“Everybody helped, because everybody came together for the consensus, but the emerging markets took a particular lead on this and many of us have a strong history of working together.”&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, India's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant dubbed the declaration historic and path-breaking and said there was 100% consensus on all developmental and geopolitical issues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Through the Delhi declaration, the G20 leaders, "highlighted the human suffering and negative added impacts of the war in Ukraine with regard to global food and energy security, supply chains, macro-financial stability, inflation and growth, which has complicated the policy environment for countries, especially developing and least developed countries which are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic disruption which has derailed progress towards the SDGs.
