Now is the time to put an end to Russia’s “destructive” war and “save thousands of lives,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address to the G20 summit in Bali on Tuesday.Zelenskyy addressed leaders including China’s Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden while wearing his now-familiar army green T-shirt and speaking in Ukrainian.Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, was not present, having avoided the gathering and dispatched his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to Bali in his place.
“There are and cannot be any excuses for nuclear blackmail,” he added, pointedly thanking the “G19” — excluding Russia — for “making this clear”.Zelenskyy slammed “the insane threats of nuclear weapons that Russian officials resort to,” referring to Putin’s dark rhetoric that has made even Beijing uncomfortable.
The Ukrainian president also called for the expansion and indefinite extension of a grain deal mediated by the UN and Turkey, which is set to expire on November 19.

Zelenskyy also backed a US-led push for a price cap on Russian oil exports “so that energy resources are no longer used as weapons.”
“If Russia is trying to deprive Ukraine, Europe and all energy consumers in the world of predictability and price stability, the answer to this should be a forced limitation of export prices for Russia.”
