Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations -- the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Canada and Japan -- issued a statement on Tuesday, Feb. 24, marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's war against Ukraine. They emphasized continued support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The G7 statement said only good-faith negotiations between Ukraine and Russia could lead to a peace agreement, with Europe and other partners playing a key role in the process.
Leaders of Britain, France and Germany reiterated their commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
More than 30 heads of state from the Volunteers' Coalition called on Moscow to accept a complete and unconditional ceasefire and enter peace talks.
French President Emmanuel Macron expressed doubt about achieving short-term peace but deemed continued support for Ukraine and peace negotiations essential. He described the ongoing war as "Russia's triple failure in military, economic and strategic terms."
