As Ukraine war continues, can the G7 summit amp up pressure on Russia?
Both issues will be front and centre when the Group of Seven summit gets underway in Hiroshima Friday, but there are questions about how the world’s advanced economies will set aside their own differences to tackle them.
Those measures have so far been resisted by Moscow, so in order to change the course of the Ukraine war – now into its second year – the G7 will have to step up and take bolder action, one expert said.“This is a meeting that is ripe with opportunities, but also invites us to go beyond rhetoric and actually change policy,” said Aurel Braun, professor of international relations and political science at the University of Toronto.
Germany, which is Europe’s largest economy, faced criticism at the start of the war for what some called a hesitant response, but it has since become one of Ukraine’s biggest providers of financial and military assistance.The German government announced a 2.7 billion euro package of military aid to Ukraine on Saturday, its biggest such package since Russia’s invasion.
