G-7 leaders posed for a last family photo after the first day of a three-day summit in the Bavarian Alps on Sunday, June 27.

The United States and the other members of the Group of Seven leading industrialized economies imposed new sanctions Monday against Russia for its four-month invasion of Ukraine. These include measures to cut Moscow off from materials and services needed by its industrial and technology sectors.

The White House said the U.S. will commit $7.5 billion as part of a G-7 effort to help Ukraine cover its short-term budget needs, and that the governments are making "an unprecedented, long-term security commitment to providing Ukraine with financial, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support as long as it takes."

In a joint communique, the G-7 said, "We remain appalled by and continue to condemn the brutal, unprovoked, unjustifiable and illegal war of aggression against Ukraine by Russia and aided by Belarus. We condemn and will not recognize Russia's continued attempts to redraw borders by force."

The announcement came as G-7 leaders met in the Bavarian Alps in Germany, where they spoke by video link with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Additional specific U.S. sanctions include blocks on Russian state-owned defense enterprises and defense research organizations, limiting Russia's ability to replenish equipment it has lost in the war, and prohibitions on gold imports into the United States.

Good thing they removed dislike counts because things would be very embarrassing for the ruling class.

Too bad they won’t be able to share cells when they are in hell, they will be all alone surrounded by demons and insects in total darkness.

Seems like a trustworthy group of people. Honest, hard working, concerned about the lives of their average citizens, never giving into corruption. Good people all, hope they all get what they deserve.
