UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson stressed on Monday, that the leaders of G7 are united and determined to continue supporting Ukraine.
"The G7 must continue to help Ukrainians rebuild and protect themselves," Johnson said in an exclusive statement to BBC TV on Monday.
"There is no deal Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky can really make, so under these circumstances, the G7 and Ukraine's supporters around the world should continue to help Ukrainians rebuild their economy, export their grain, and protect themselves," he added.
Moreover, Johnson noted that the situation in southeastern Ukraine is still very difficult, but Ukraine has shown an incredible ability to repel and change the military situation.
It is worth mentioning that, earlier, Johnson said that G7 leaders have agreed that the world must intensify economic pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin in any way possible.
This came during a phone call between Johnson and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“The world must support Ukraine further and faster,” Zelensky stressed.
He also added that he told G7 leaders that ‘Ukraine needs to acquire military equipment that allowed them to not just hold ground in Ukraine, but recapture it.’
New Zealand announced further sanctions against Russia, targeting 170 senators in the Russian parliament, and the Federation Council, as well as six companies in the defense sector.
“While Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war machine continues its illegal attacks and as more revelations of atrocities emerge, we are determined to impose costs on those involved,” New Zealand Foreign Minister (FM) Nanaia Mahuta said.
“We support the people of Ukraine and are committed to holding President Putin and his group of war instigators accountable,” Mahuta added.
