The missile blast in Poland also sparked concern at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia. The leaders gathered there urged a thorough investigation into the incident.

The group of 20 leading economies ended their summit on Wednesday with a joint declaration saying that most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine. They also warned that the conflict was making an already delicate world economy worse. The declaration was adopted UNANIMOUSLY [meaning that Russia also signed off on it.]

And that same declaration includes the very words that refute your characterization of it: "We reiterated our national positions as expressed in other fora...Most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine...There were other views and different assessments of the situation and sanctions..."

Russia's national position in the UN referenda that were cited was against the the majority position that condemned them. It explicitly says that they reiterated their national positions from the same (wherein Russia, naturally, voted against condemning their own actions).

A declaration unanimously recognizing this — that everyone's national positions from said UN resolutions are unchanged — is tantamount to Russia condemning its own military actions?

Come on.
