The Group of Seven (G7) - Russia Is the Sole Obstacle to Lasting Peace in Ukraine
The Group of Seven (G7), comprising Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, and Italy, has identified Russia as the primary barrier to achieving lasting peace in Ukraine. In a joint statement issued on Saturday, the G7 nations reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining sanctions and export controls against Russia as its military campaign in Ukraine continues.
The statement comes as the conflict nears its 1,000th day, with the G7 emphasizing that Russia’s aggression remains the sole impediment to a just and enduring peace.
The declaration, reported by Indian news outlet NDTV, underscores the G7’s pledge to support Ukraine for as long as necessary to counter Russian aggression. The group also voiced ongoing concerns over Russia’s actions in Ukraine and China’s growing military presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
This firm stance contrasts with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s indications of seeking to end the Ukraine conflict, potentially complicating the geopolitical dynamics. By continuing to impose pressure on Moscow through sanctions and providing support to Kyiv, the G7 aims to hold Russian President Vladimir Putin accountable.
Analysts suggest that this dual approach of sanctions and support could further intensify the complexities of the Ukraine crisis.
