French President Emmanuel Macron said today in Evian-les-Bains at the end of a three-day summit of leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) most industrialized countries that "the G7's renewed commitment to increasing pressure on Russia" is extremely important.

"We have committed to increasing pressure, including strengthening our sanctions, and this renewed commitment to the G7 is extremely important," said Macron, whose country this year holds the presidency of the G7, which is made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Macron added that the G7 summit marks a "very profound change" on the Ukrainian issue.

According to him, the entire G7 recognized the "territorial integrity of Ukraine," and the leaders also acknowledged that there is no serious will from Russia to end the conflict.

Macron added that G7 leaders "committed to strengthening sanctions on Russia, as well as to "strengthening air and long-range capabilities in Ukraine."

The summit's topics were the Middle East, the war in Ukraine, as well as global economic stability, climate change and security crises.

US President Donald Trump, who participated in the G7 summit, is traveling to Paris this evening, where Macron will host a dinner at the Palace of Versailles, French media reported.
