Support for Ukraine from G7 countries
Since the onset of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation, G7 partners have supported Ukraine on all possible fronts. In total, over the course of almost two years, more than $30 billion has been provided.
Media reports have also indicated that the Group of Seven (G7) countries will continue to freeze Russian assets until Ukraine receives compensation for the damage inflicted on it as a result of the war.
