Any settlement of the conflict must ensure that Russia pays for the damage it has caused to Ukraine, the statement said.
The Big Seven (G7) countries, in a statement timed to coincide with the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, announced their commitment to step up diplomatic, financial and military support for Kyiv. The text of the document was published by the EU Delegation to Ukraine on Monday, February 27.
Thus, the G7 leaders called on Russia to “stop the ongoing aggression and immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw its troops from all internationally recognized territories of Ukraine.”
In addition, the document emphasizes that “Russia’s irresponsible nuclear rhetoric is unacceptable” and that any use of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons “will have serious consequences.”
“We remain committed to coordinating efforts to meet Ukraine’s urgent needs for military and defense equipment, with a particular focus on air defense systems and assets, as well as critical munitions and tanks,” the statement said.
The G7 also promised to continue to provide humanitarian, financial, energy and economic assistance to Ukraine.
The G7 countries reiterated that they will continue to impose sanctions against Russia and seek third countries not to help Moscow circumvent the restrictions.
“We are committed to preventing Russia from finding new ways to obtain advanced military and industrial materials, technologies and equipment from our jurisdictions that it can use to develop its industrial sectors,” said of the document.
Separately, the intention to limit the export of diamonds from Russia in the future was noted.
The G7 also emphasized that Russia will have to pay for the restoration of Ukraine, and that Russia’s frozen assets will remain forfeit until the end of the war.
“Any settlement of the conflict must ensure that Russia pays for the damage it has caused,” the document said.
“We are united in our determination to bring President Putin and those responsible to justice in accordance with international law,” said the G7 leaders, who support investigations by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, the prosecutor general of Ukraine and other national prosecutors.
The G7 also supported the initiative to create a new structure based on Eurojust – the International Center for the Prosecution of Crimes of Aggression. He will be part of the Special Joint Investigation Group and will collect, analyze and store evidence of crimes of aggression committed against Ukraine.
Recall that the G7 countries promised Ukraine $39 billion this year. These funds will ensure the provision of basic services to the population and stabilize the Ukrainian economy.
