Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he appreciates the joint statement made by the G7 foreign ministers in the Canadian city of Niagara. He added that the G7 supported an immediate ceasefire, the contact line as the starting point for negotiations, and the inviolability of borders:

"The G7 will continue to increase the cost of prolonging the war for Moscow, as well as for companies assisting in the war efforts and for Russia’s allies such as North Korea.

I am grateful to every country and their leaders – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, the USA, and the EU – for their principled stance. The continued coordinated pressure on Moscow and the naming of every Russian attack and atrocity by its real name is of critical importance."
