"We will continue to provide financial, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support to Ukraine and stand by Ukraine as needed."

APA reports that this was stated in the joint statement of G7 leaders in support of Ukraine.

G7 leaders have stated their commitment to solidarity with Ukraine and to the Ukrainian government and people in courageously defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of their countries and in their struggle for a peaceful, prosperous and democratic future.

"We welcome the decision of the Council of the European Union to grant Ukraine and Moldova candidate status. We will continue to provide financial, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support to this country and stand by Ukraine as long as necessary. We reaffirm our commitment to global responsibility and solidarity in combating the effects of vulnerable groups (countries). "

The G7 leaders said in a statement that they "are horrified and strongly condemn the brutal, baseless and illegal war against Ukraine initiated by Russia and supported by Belarus."

"We condemn Russia's continued attempts to forcibly reclaim its borders and do not recognize its consequences."

The leaders stated that the consequences of this war were manifested not only in Europe but also outside the continent.

"This is a clear violation of international law, a violation of the Charter of the United Nations, a serious crime.

We once again condemn Russia's unreasonable use of nuclear rhetoric.

Russia must abide by its international obligations, including those prohibiting the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.

We call on Russia to act responsibly and with restraint, and reiterate that any use of such weapons is unacceptable and the country will face grave consequences.

"We are seriously concerned about Russia's announcement that nuclear missiles could be sent to Belarus."

The statement said that the G7 countries remain committed to supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty, and that the right to decide on a future peace agreement belongs only to Ukraine, and no external influence or pressure can be applied to the country in this matter.

The G7 leaders said in a statement that they were ready to work with interested countries and Ukraine to further strengthen their security and stability.

The G7 leaders stressed that they would provide financial support to Ukraine in the post-war reconstruction and reconstruction of infrastructure.
