Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven nations concluded a meeting in Canada, presenting a unified stance on Ukraine and Sudan. They pledged to intensify economic pressure on Russia and explore new measures against entities financing its military. The ministers heard from Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, who emphasized the severe challenges facing his country's energy infrastructure and appealed for continued support.
Individual member states announced specific actions, with Canada imposing new sanctions on drone developers and Britain committing additional funds for Ukraine's energy sector. The group also collectively condemned the escalating violence in Sudan, calling for an end to weapons flows to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The US Secretary of State indicated that high-level pressure was being applied on parties reportedly supplying the Sudanese paramilitaries.
While the discussions focused on these conflicts, the underlying trade tensions between the United States and Canada were not addressed during the ministerial sessions. The US Secretary of State also confirmed that its military operations in the Caribbean were not a topic of conversation with other ministers at the gathering.
