Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed a diplomatic win on Sunday, declaring a G20 summit in India a "success" after the bloc shied away from direct criticism of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

"We were able to prevent the West's attempts to 'Ukrainize' the summit agenda" Lavrov said as the two-day meeting of leaders closed.
