The United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called on the G20 to condemn war in Ukraine by Russia.

Yellen told Reuters that a strong statement condemning Russia's war in Ukraine was "absolutely necessary" from the G20 finance leaders' meeting in India concluding on Saturday.

Yellen said that leaving a war condemnation out of the communique would be a step back from a statement made by G20 leaders last November on the Indonesian island of Bali.

"I think there has to be a statement in the communique condemning Russia's war.

"We've had it in the past, in Bali and it's something that I think is absolutely necessary.

"And I think the G7 is certainly united on that, so it's something that I would expect and I think is necessary and appropriate."

The meeting on the outskirts of India's Bengaluru tech hub was due to end late on Saturday.
