G7 actions to support Ukraine
As demonstrated, the US and its allies and partners will continue to support Ukraine by holding Russia for their atrocities. Earlier, Japan has also imposed sanctions on Russia for institutional support and export of military equipment.
Additionally, the G7 leaders are weighing the possibility of utilization of tariff revenues on imports from Russia to support Ukraine.

He stressed immediate action to cease war before the onset of “bitter cold winters.”
The Ukrainian President emphasized extending the sanctions on Russia further. While addressing the US Department of State, President Zelensky stressed to endorse the decision to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.
