At the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, Russia’s war against Ukraine is a key issue. On the outward flight, Joe Biden’s security adviser made an announcement about the next steps.
Before the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, the US government promised new sanctions in response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. US President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, announced on the flight to Japan that the US would present a sanctions package in conjunction with a summit declaration by the G7 countries. The statement will focus primarily on the enforcement of existing sanctions. He did not initially give any details.
Russia’s war against Ukraine is one of the main topics of the meeting of the seven major economic powers. In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the West had imposed unprecedented punitive measures against Russia, including far-reaching trade restrictions.
The focus of the discussions in Hiroshima is now “enforcing the sanctions to ensure that we switch off bypass networks and close loopholes (…) so that the effects are amplified and amplified in the coming months,” Sullivan said. In view of previous discussions about a possible almost complete export ban on Russian goods in certain areas, Sullivan said he did not expect such an export ban. The main focus at the G7 summit is on implementing existing sanctions and preventing punitive measures from being circumvented.
