G7 Nations to Undertake to Help Ukraine Indefinitely
New Delhi: The Group of Seven nations will undertake to support Ukraine indefinitely, a Media report said on Sunday citing a draft statement. According to the document, the G7 nations will continue to offer financial, humanitarian, military, and diplomatic support to Ukraine for as long as it takes.
According to the agency, the G7 leaders are looking at using proceeds from duties to help Kyiv. The ongoing G7 summit in Germany is expected to yield at least four joint statements along with a final document.
A three-day Group of Seven summits is being held in Germany’s Elmau. The agenda is expected to focus on the situation in Ukraine and the consequences of the anti-Russian sanctions. Germany’s deputy government spokesperson Christiane Hoffmann said earlier that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will take part in the G7 summit via video link on June 27.
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion caused Europe’s fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II, with more than 7.5 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “Moscow had no plans to occupy Ukrainian territories, and the goal was to demilitarize and denazify the country. In response to a request by the heads of the Donbas republics he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation.”
