Ukraine and G7 countries discuss protection against air strikes and sanctions against Russia
Published
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Ukraine and the Group of Seven (G7) countries discussed strengthening air defence systems and new sanctions against Russia. The information was reported by the Ukrainian outlet UNIAN.
The Group of Seven (G7) includes the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Canada, the United States, France and Japan. Representatives of the European Union also take part in its work. The G7 countries regularly discuss security and economic policy issues.
Air defence is a system for protection against missiles, drones and aerial strikes. Such systems are considered important for Ukraine because Russian attacks on energy and civilian facilities continue. For this reason, the question of supplies and strengthening air defence is often raised at international meetings.
Sanctions are restrictions that countries impose on states or companies, for example, bans on trade, financial transactions or the supply of certain goods. G7 states imposed such measures against Russia after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. UNIAN's report does not provide details of which specific measures were discussed or what decisions were taken.
