Munich, 19 February 2023 (dpa/MIA) — The Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations warned third countries against providing military support to Russia for Moscow's war on Ukraine, in a joint statement released by foreign ministers at the Munich Security Conference.

The G7 is determined to sanction countries that provide material support for Russia's illegal war on Ukraine or circumvent sanctions on Russia. Such countries would face significant costs, the statement said.

The G7 includes Germany, the United States, France, Britain, Italy, Canada and Japan.
