In order to ensure a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine, G7 members call on Russia to end its unrelenting aggression and to immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw its troops and troops and military equipment from all internationally recognized territory of Ukraine. “Russia started this war and only they can end it,” the statement said.
