The G7 countries announced on Friday their intention to impose "severe new sanctions" against Moscow and called for the "rapid" establishment of humanitarian corridors in Ukraine.

"We will continue to impose tough new sanctions in response to Russian aggression," the foreign ministers of the G7 countries said in a joint statement.

The G7 condemns Russian disinformation…

They also condemned disinformation "by the Russian government and media affiliated with it" whose "constant stream of fabricated claims puts additional lives at risk."

"We are determined to counter Russia's disinformation campaign," the seven countries warn.

The G7, chaired this year by Germany, also “welcomes” the announcement of an agreement between Moscow and Kiev on the establishment of “humanitarian corridors”, “an important first step”.

"This must be implemented reliably and quickly," they urge.

…and attacks on civilians

“We condemn attacks against Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals.

We call on Russia to fully respect its obligations under international humanitarian law and human rights standards,” the joint statement added.

"Anywhere within Ukraine's internationally recognized borders, Ukrainian and UN humanitarian aid organizations, medical personnel and non-governmental workers must have immediate, safe and rapid access to those in need" , ask the G7 countries.
