In the final joint statement, the "Big Seven" confirmed their "unwavering support" for Kyiv and promised to "increase the economic price for Russia. " The full text of the statement was made public. "We reaffirmed our unwavering support for Ukraine in protecting its territorial integrity and right to exist, as well as its freedom, sovereignty and independence. We reiterated the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire.
We agreed that the current contact line should be the starting point for negotiations. We remain committed to the principle that international borders should not be changed by force. We are increasing economic costs for Russia and exploring the possibility of taking measures against countries and organizations that help fund Russia's military efforts.
We have condemned the provision of military aid to Russia and China's provision of dual-use weapons and components that have contributed to Russia's war. We have noted ongoing discussions of a wide range of funding options, including the continued coordinated use of Russian sovereign assets in support of Ukraine infrastructure and confirmed our support for Ukraine's energy security," the statement said.
After the G7 summit, Canada announced the introduction of new sanctions against Russia aimed at increasing economic pressure due to its aggression in Ukraine. 100 tankers of the "shadow fleet" of Russia, as well as companies that support the Russian cyber infrastructure, fell under the restrictions. But the US position remains uncertain.
