The Group of Seven led by duty
president Giorgia Meloni on Italy on Saturday said it would back
Ukraine as long as it takes in the war against the Russian
invasion.
In a statement marking the 1,000th day since Moscow invaded its
neighbour, the G7 said:
"We, the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), reaffirm our firm
support for Ukraine for as long as it takes. We remain in
solidarity in contributing to its struggle for sovereignty,
freedom, independence, territorial integrity and its
reconstruction. We also recognize the impact of Russia's
aggression on vulnerable people around the world."
The group also said Moscow was the only obstacles to peace and
it would press ahead with sanctions on Russia.
"After 1,000 days of war, we recognize the immense suffering
endured by the Ukrainian people.
"Despite these hardships, Ukrainians have demonstrated
unparalleled resilience and determination to defend their land,
their culture and their people.
"Russia remains the sole obstacle to a just and lasting peace.
"The G7 remains committed to imposing severe costs on Russia
through sanctions, export controls and other effective measures.
"We stand united with Ukraine."
