G7 ambassadors pledge to redouble efforts against Russia's missile programme

On Monday, the ambassadors of the Group of Seven (G7) countries to Ukraine made a commitment to intensify their efforts to deprive Russia of high-tech components for the missiles it uses to attack Ukraine.

European Pravda reported that the statement by the G7 ambassadors appeared on Twitter.

"The G7 Ambassadors stand with all Ukrainians enduring the constant threat and destruction of Russia’s missile attacks. We are redoubling our efforts to deny Russia the components it uses to strike civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine," they said.

The statement was issued in response to Russia's latest attack on Kryvyi Rih on the night of 14 June, which resulted in the destruction of a high-rise building.

The Kh-101 missile that hit the building was manufactured in April 2023 and, according to the Ukrainian side, contained about 50 Western-made components that bypassed sanctions to enter Russia.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba urged Ukraine’s international partners to speed up the introduction of sanctions against Russian companies that manufacture drones and missiles used in large-scale attacks on Ukraine.
