The G7 asks Russia for a de-escalation: immediately withdraw its forces from Ukraine and stop the bloodbath.
This was stated by the G7 in a note.
"We condemn the Russian invasion in the harshest way. We affirm our unwavering support and solidarity with Ukraine."
"We are committed to protecting democratic systems and strengthening our partnership for global priorities such as climate, environment and health," it continues.
The leaders of the G7 are ready to act on the global energy markets.
President Vladimir Putin has "reintroduced war on the European continent, and this puts him on the wrong side of history".
