On 19 February 2022, G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting was held with the participation of Foreign Minister of Ukraine, and issued a statement on Russia and Ukraine.[4][5]

In March 2022, foreign ministers from G7 agreed to impose tougher sanctions on Russia if it does not stop its assault on Ukraine, and demanded in particular that Moscow halt attacks in the vicinity of nuclear power plants.[6][7] German Chancellor Olaf Scholz invited leaders from the G7 to a summit on 24 March 2022 in Brussels, Belgium. The meeting was embedded in the NATO summit and the European Council.[8][9] World leaders warned that if Russia were to use chemical or nuclear weapons they would be forced to respond.[10][11]

On 7 April 2022, G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting was held in Brussels to discuss about the situation of Ukraine, and issued their statement reaffirming that they will take additional measures against Russia until the country stops its invasion of Ukraine.[12][13] On the day, leaders of the Group of Seven also issued a statement amid growing calls for Russia to be held accountable for the civilian killings.[14][15] And on 19 April 2022, the leaders met and discussed at a videoconference about their coordinated efforts to impose severe economic costs to hold Russia accountable.[16][17]
