YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGroup of Seven leaders discussed ways to ratchet up pressure on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to attend the summit in Japan, one of his highest profile trips abroad yet to raise global support.
The leaders of the seven powerful democracies started their meeting in Hiroshima by touring a museum and peace park built on the site that was ground zero for the first nuclear attack 78 years ago. The visit was steeped in symbolism given Russian President Vladimir Putin’s periodic threats to use atomic weapons in Ukraine.
The leaders issued a statement after their session on Ukraine where they reiterated “our firm rejection of Russia’s illegal attempts to acquire Ukrainian territory by force.” They also appeared to take a stand against a cease-fire proposal by China, which sent a special envoy to Ukraine earlier this week, saying: “We underline that a just peace cannot be realized without the complete and unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops and military equipment, and this must be included in any call for peace.”
The leaders said they will work to restrict Russia’s access to their economies and cut off the flow of items that could be used for the Kremlin’s war machine. “We reiterate our call on third parties to immediately cease providing material support to Russia’s aggression, or face severe costs,” they said.
