The G7 leaders statement published by the Japanese hosts in Hiroshima has said as reported by BBC.
The G7 demands that Russia “immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraws its troops and military equipment from the entire internationally recognised territory of Ukraine”.
It adds that “a just peace cannot be realised without the complete and unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops and military equipment and this must be included in any call for peace”.
The leaders say “our support for Ukraine will not waver” and the countries “stand together against Russia’s illegal, unjustifiable and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine”.
G7 sanctions to target Russian ‘war machine’
We’re hearing more details now on G7’s new sanctions against Russia.
In a statement, leaders from the Group of Seven nations said they would “starve Russia of G7 technology, industrial equipment and services that support its war machine”.
The measures will restrict the export of items “critical to Russia on the battlefield”.
Sanctions will also target groups accused of moving material to the front for Moscow.
Earlier, we reported the G7 had agreed on further sanctions against Moscow and had renewed its commitment to providing “financial, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support” to Ukraine.
We’ll bring you more details on the specifics of these sanctions as we get them.
