G7 ‘will never recognize’ borders changed by force by Russia

BERLIN, 15 May 2022, (TON): The Group of Seven industrialized nations said “they would never recognize the borders Russia is trying to shift in its war against Ukraine and pledged enduring support for Kyiv.”

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 but Kyiv’s forces managed to push Moscow’s troops back from the capital. The conflict is now well into its third month.

G7 foreign ministers said in a statement after three days of talks in northern Germany “we will never recognize borders Russia has attempted to change by military aggression, and will uphold our engagement in the support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including Crimea, and all states.”

They also vowed to expand sanctions to include sectors on which Russia is dependent and keep supplying Ukraine with weapons to help it repel Russia’s invasion.

They said “we reaffirm our determination to further increase economic and political pressure on Russia, continuing to act in unity.”
