ATLANTA — Top diplomats from the Group of 20 largest world economies will wrap up two days of talks in Atlanta on Saturday without reaching consensus on several critical global security issues after divisions, notably over Russia's war with Ukraine, overshadowed the start of the meeting.

After two days of talks in Atlanta, G20 foreign ministers will conclude their meeting on Saturday without agreeing on several key global security issues. The discussions were marred by divisions, especially regarding Russia's war with Ukraine. Consequently, the group will not issue a joint communique but will instead rely on a chairman's statement that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will release at the end of the meeting.
Rubio, who initiated the talks with an appeal for unity, canceled the traditional group photo on Friday due to objections from European diplomats over the inclusion of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, who attended the G20 meeting for the first time, expressed surprise at the failure to reach consensus, stating that wars and their participants are present at such gatherings.
