G7 Leaders End Meeting with Condemnation of Russia

G7 leaders have ended their meeting in Germany with united stance  to support Ukraine for “as long as necessary,” while explore far-reaching efforts to cap Kremlin income from oil sales that are financing its invasion.

The final statement left out key details on how the fossil fuel price caps would work in practice, but set up more discussion in the weeks ahead to “explore” measures to cap import of Russian oil at an undetermined level.

During the three days of meetings, leaders also “agreed on a ban on imports of Russian gold” and to step up aid to countries hit with food shortages by the blockage on Ukraine grain shipments through the Black Sea.
