This message of PM Modi was directed toward western countries including America. Since Russia attacked Ukraine, the western countries led by America have imposed various sanctions on it. They are also affecting the energy supply. Top world leaders including US President Joe Biden were present when PM Modi gave the message of not promoting sanctions.

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a return to the path of "ceasefire and diplomacy" to resolve the Ukraine dispute. At the same time, he opposed promoting any restrictions on the supply of energy amid calls from Western countries against Russian oil and gas purchases. Addressing a session of the annual G20 summit, Modi said global challenges posed by climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Ukraine crisis have created havoc in the world and global supply chains have "collapsed".

The inclusive energy transition requires a sustainable supply of timely and affordable finance and technology to developing countries.
