The Telegraph: US Unexpectedly Condemns Russia's War On Ukraine

In the joint communiqué from the G7 summit.

Finance ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) countries have condemned Russia's "brutal war" against Ukraine in a joint communique and vowed to strengthen sanctions against Moscow if Russian dictator Vladimir Putin continues to delay a ceasefire.

As The Telegraph writes, the document marked a "significant shift" in the policy of US President Donald Trump's administration, which had previously refused to place full blame for the war on Russia.

"We condemn Russia's ongoing brutal war against Ukraine and commend the tremendous resilience of the Ukrainian people and economy," G7 finance ministers said after a three-day summit in Banff, Canada, attended by, among others, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The communiqué also said the G7 countries "remain committed to unwavering support for Ukraine in defense of its territorial integrity and right to exist, as well as its freedom, sovereignty and independence on the path to a just and lasting peace."

As the publication notes, the statement contradicts previous positions the White House has taken since the beginning of its "peace efforts."

In the document, the countries also reaffirm "determination to ensure that Russia pays for the damage it has inflicted on Ukraine."

In the document, G7 members also pledged to keep frozen Russian assets and explore new "punitive measures."

"If such a ceasefire is not agreed, we will continue to explore all options, including options for maximum pressure, such as further strengthening sanctions."
