Leaders from the Group of 20 (G20) major economies have gathered in New Delhi for the G20 Summit, where they aim to address pressing global issues. However, the summit is taking place against the backdrop of deep geopolitical divisions, particularly regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which threatens progress on several fronts.
