Details: Moreover, the G7 foreign ministers confirmed that they remain committed to intensifying, fully coordinating and enforcing sanctions against Russia, as well as continuing strong support for Ukraine. 

They stressed that Russia must withdraw all forces and equipment from Ukraine immediately and unconditionally. 

Also, in addition to condemning President Putin’s announcement to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, the G7 Foreign Ministers reaffirmed that Russia’s irresponsible nuclear rhetoric is unacceptable.
