On the second day of the summit on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is to meet with the leaders of the leaders of the seven largest developed economies.

It is indeed the unity of the G7 against Russia that is at stake in Bavaria.

"We must unite against Vladimir Putin", is the message hammered home by the leaders of the G7. 

Like Joe Biden here during an interview with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

"We have to stay together, because Putin has hoped from the beginning that somehow NATO and the G7 will split up," said the US president.

"But it's not happening and it won't happen. We can't let this aggression take the turn it has taken," he continued.

Joe Biden calls on Westerners to increase pressure on Russia.

A line different from that of the French, Germans and Italians, who are more measured.

Consensus around a gold embargo

Emmanuel Macron in particular wants to avoid escalation and considers that the Europeans are already those who have taken the highest level of sanctions against Moscow.

However, a consensus seems to be emerging around an embargo on Russian gold imports.

The French president is in favor of it, but first wants to obtain the approval of the Twenty-Seven.

In the immediate future, the French president says he wishes to intensify aid and support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Zelensky is due to speak today by videoconference, in particular to again demand the dispatch of heavy weapons.
