Group of 7 imposes more sanctions against Russia

According to Isna, the leaders of the G7 member states claimed in a joint statement that was published on the thousandth day of the war in Ukraine, that Russia is still the “main obstacle to a lasting and stable peace”. Meanwhile, Moscow has repeatedly emphasized its readiness to start negotiations with Kiev.

Italy holds the rotating presidency of the Group of 7 in 2024, and its other members are England, America, Canada, Japan, France and Germany.

According to Reuters News agency, this group also announced in this statement: “The Group of 7 emphasizes its commitment to impose serious costs on Russia through sanctions, export controls and other effective measures. We are with Ukraine.”

Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, the West has imposed a wave of sanctions against the Kremlin. Currently, Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world. Although the Kremlin has repeatedly declared its readiness for negotiations, the leaders of Kiev insist that they will not enter into negotiations until all regions are taken back and the Russian president is changed. Meanwhile, Moscow wants the new field realities to be accepted by Ukraine.

In the situation that Republican Donald Trump won the US presidential election, it is expected that the settlement of this war will be prioritized. However, he has not yet formed a team to deal with the Ukraine war. During the election campaigns, Trump repeatedly emphasized the quick resolution of the war in Ukraine, even before taking the oath of office in January.
