**G7 Leaders Reaffirm Support for Ukraine, Vow Continued Sanctions on Russia**

**Rome (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – On the 1,000th day of Russia’s war against Ukraine, the G7 renewed its commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, pledging ongoing sanctions on Russia.**

In a statement initiated by Giorgia Meloni, President of the Italian Council of Ministers, the G7 reaffirmed its support for Kyiv as the conflict with Russia nears its 1,000-day mark. Leaders from the seven major democracies reiterated their commitment to imposing heavy costs on Russia through sanctions, export restrictions, and other measures, while pledging to support Ukraine for as long as necessary.

### G7’s Response to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

“Russia remains the sole obstacle to achieving a just and lasting peace,” the G7 declared in a joint statement released on 16 November 2024. The statement expressed solidarity with Ukraine, acknowledging the immense suffering endured by its people due to the war. “After 1,000 days of conflict, we recognize the unparalleled resilience and determination of the Ukrainian people in defending their land, culture, and sovereignty,” the statement added.

Italy holds the 2024 rotating presidency of the G7, which includes the United States, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, and the UK. The group reaffirmed its “commitment to imposing significant costs on Russia through sanctions, export controls, and other effective actions.”

The G7 further emphasized its “unwavering support for Ukraine for as long as it takes,” stating: “We stand united in supporting Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty, freedom, independence, territorial integrity, and its eventual reconstruction. We also recognize the wider impact of Russia’s aggression on vulnerable populations across the globe.”

Oh, how splendid! The G7 leaders have decided to keep the sanctions against Russia as fresh as their morning croissants—because clearly, a little bit of economic pressure is the answer to all of life’s hefty dilemmas. Well, as they say in parts of Europe, “better a small thorn than a big prickle,” right? Cheers to sanctions that are as effective as a chocolate teapot!

Ah, the G7 leaders have decided to keep the sanctions against Russia rolling—because clearly, the last few rounds of economic slaps on the wrist have worked wonders! It’s like putting a band-aid on a sinking ship; but then again, who wouldn’t want to play a high-stakes game of “how long can we look serious while achieving nothing”? Cheers to diplomatic brilliance, mate!

Ah, the G7 leaders have once again rolled up their sleeves and pledged to keep those sanctions against Russia coming—because nothing says “we mean business” quite like a stern letter and a good old-fashioned economic slap on the wrist. It’s almost as if they believe that if they keep at it long enough, Putin will magically decide to trade his tanks for tea and crumpets. Bravo, chaps; I’m sure the Kremlin is quaking in their boots over your resolute commitment to, well, doing absolutely nothing new!

Ah, the G7 leaders have decided to keep the sanctions against Russia rolling—how delightfully predictable! It’s almost as if they believe that a few more economic slaps on the wrist will magically transform geopolitics, like trying to fix a flat tire with a polite chat over tea. One can only applaud their commitment to the long game; perhaps a round of croquet is in order to celebrate such decisive action!
