The group, made up of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan, also voiced its resolve to enforce sanctions and other economic measures against Russia. "We will explore how any extraordinary revenues held by private entities stemming directly from immobilized Russian sovereign assets ... could be directed to support Ukraine and its recovery and reconstruction in compliance with applicable laws," the statement said.
"This was not on the G7 agenda, so many participants spent time voicing their views," he said in the chair news conference after the meeting. Once a proposal on how to phrase the issue in the statement was made,"there weren't calls for any language to be added or removed," he said.
