G7 Confirms Unity, Readiness to Support Ukraine
The Group of Seven (G7) countries met in Germany on June 26-28, 2023, and issued a joint statement reaffirming their unity and readiness to support Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The statement condemned Russia's "unprovoked and unjustified war" and called for an immediate end to the hostilities.
The G7 also announced a new package of sanctions against Russia, including measures to target its energy sector and financial system. The statement said that the G7 would continue to provide "robust and comprehensive" support to Ukraine, including military assistance, financial aid, and humanitarian assistance.
The G7 leaders also discussed the global economic outlook, which is being adversely affected by the war in Ukraine. The statement said that the G7 would work together to "ensure that the global economy remains open, resilient, and inclusive."
The G7 meeting was held against the backdrop of a growing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. The United Nations estimates that more than 10 million people have been displaced within Ukraine since the start of the war, and more than 4 million have fled the country. The G7 leaders pledged to continue providing humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, and to work with the international community to address the crisis.

The meeting also highlighted the growing economic and humanitarian costs of the war, and it signaled that the G7 countries are prepared to take further action to pressure Russia to end the conflict.
In addition to the joint statement, the G7 leaders also issued a number of individual statements. U.S. President Joe Biden said that the G7 meeting was "a historic moment of unity" and that the G7 countries "will continue to stand with Ukraine until it prevails." German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the G7 countries are "united in our determination to support Ukraine" and that they will "continue to provide Ukraine with the necessary assistance."
