WEISSENHAUS, Germany: Foreign ministers from the G7 group of rich nations backed giving more aid and weapons to Kyiv as they met on Friday in what Germany called a"powerful sign of unity" to deepen Russia's global isolation.
The annual meeting running until Saturday brings together top diplomats from Britain, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the United States and the EU to a 400-year-old castle estate in the Baltic Sea resort of Weissenhaus.The event, which the foreign ministers of Ukraine and Moldova attended, will also spotlight food security concerns and fears that the war in Ukraine could spill over into its smaller neighbour Moldova.
Borrell said the new EU military support would be for heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery and take the bloc's aid to about €2 billion. "We do not interfere in their discussion, but it's a critical moment when we will see whether EU unity will continue to exist or whether it will be broken," he said.
Russia's invasion has disrupted shipping in the Black Sea, a major route for grains and other commodities, throttling exports. Diplomatic sources said the aim was for the seven countries to organise themselves better to find quick and efficient answers to the food crisis.
