G7 support for Ukraine will not waver due to Middle East conflict, Japan says

The G7 will continue to support Ukraine.

Good. The war is bleeding Russia white. It's existential for Ukraine, and they will continue to fight as long as necessary, but there will soon come a point when Russians turn against it - like the US people finally did against their war in Vietnam.

Until then - and probably even beyond, until Russia coughs up compensation to Ukraine for the destruction they have caused - Russia and its people will remain pariha, under continuing sanctions both economically and culturally. The only end I see is the elimination of Putin (whether by death or coup) and the installation of a leader who rejects the culture that led to the invasion.

Not quite, the Russian economy is doing fine.

And I'm sure the US was doing fine economically in 1968. Putin has to explain where all of the young men went.

What is the source that Putin is so popular in Russia ? The source could be a poll taken under duress. After Russia lying about it's covid dead, about doping for Olympic athletes and after imprisoning the war protestors, it is hard to believe what they claim.

Ukraine lost.Supporting Ukraine militarily will only result in more death.

There are plenty of body bags heading back to fascist Russia - as there have been over the past 20 months. Not so tough now, eh guys!

Fascist Russia will continue to be a pariah state as the war rolls on. The only people supporting them have to do it anonymously online. Truth be told they are too gutless to support Russia in real life in places like the US and Japan.

"Combining the two categories, 53 percent of Americans support both economic and military assistance to Ukraine and 28 percent of the population opposes both types of assistance. Among the rest, 9 percent back economic but not military assistance and 7 percent support military but not economic aid."

Everyday the Ukraine gets a little bit smaller as Russia makes slow advances.

Yeah not really. Even the Russian has limits to how many blind charges through minefields he will do.

I can’t speak for the other G7 nations, but the US will not stop helping Ukraine. Simple as. Hell, we still give foreign aid to China. As the Ukrainian weapons industry gets more mature, the aid will shift more from weapons to other aid, but we will never stop helping Ukraine. That is just unrealistic.

@UChosePoorly It is another Afghanistan. Any sort of victory is far out of reach for Ukraine and the US will bail and pin it all on Zelensky for the proxy war loss.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Ukraine is a functioning state that has killed many Russians on their own. They are not going to simply roll over and let the terrorists in on their technicals.

As far a victory for a Ukraine goes it’s over, all realistic people understand that. A ceasefire and compromise is required now. Zelensky is not the media darling now and the tide is turning against him as was inevitable. People were told the Spring offensive would tear through Russian defences which were poorly equipped and with low moral troops.

I stated this multiple times a while ago, Zelensky’s cards are falling in the floor whilst Putin strengthens his hand. Even some of Zelensky’s advisers are telling him a victory is impossible, he had become deluded and much of this is die to the West boosting his ego in such an extreme manner.

We had good times while you weren't commenting on Ukraine, FFS. Why decided to push for surrender again now? Any sort of ceasefire on the table is an unconditional ceasefire only. There is no indication Fuhrer Putin is up for that.

As long as the shells and the mines are there, there is a way.

"Although we will refrain from making a legal assessment of the actions of the Israeli military, generally speaking, the basic norms of international humanitarian law must be observed," Kamikawa said.

Time will tell. Welcome to the World of speculation.

Support without giving planes in a timely manner is not support but extracting money and weakening even very weak country to the highest extent possible.

So you live in a dream world?

Putin is more popular in Russia than Biden or any European leader in their country.

Sadly the war in Gaza has taken the world's media's attention away from the invasion of Ukraine. Why show Ukrainian's doing their best to cope in a stoic fashion against missile and artillery strikes when you can show crying and wailing people and blood covered kids shouting at the camera?

I also think that America WILL move support away from Ukraine... bound to happen

Ukraine lost.Supporting Ukraine militarily will only result in more death.

We all know that Tokyo is furiously lobbying DC for an exemption of sanctions for the artic project like they received for their investment in the Sakhalin 2 project. To pretend otherwise is virtue signaling.

And that's the point - drop the clown act and stop pretending the sanctions are working. The lastest round of sanctions will have a boomerang effect as previously (Belgium Antwerp diamond district is in the crosshairs) and will be easily circumvented by Russia or countries/companies that don't want to shoot themselves in the foot.

It also falls into the losing touch with reality zone. Everyone knows Ukraine is losing and is fed up with the bills, endless demands and corruption. Meloni said it directly in that prank call she received.

Nice try at presenting a united front in a parallel universe but the dam has already cracked - Mid east, Time magazine, confidential aides in Kyiv, the miserable counter offensive and grenades in birthday presents have made this reality.

Ukraine is already brink of collapse. Middle East war is to steer people minds away from the loosing conflict of shame

Taiwan next, when they realise how unpopular supporting Israel has become.

Journalists at the press conference before the meeting of the Group of Seven Foreign Ministers in Tokyo did not ask Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa a single question about Ukraine. This topic, although it was declared as important, did not arouse the interest of correspondents. They mainly discussed the conflict between Palestine and Israel. A decrease in interest in the Ukrainian issue was also noticed by the reduced activity of experts JT

Gaza war is an international war, people have choose their size,100 of billion down the sewers

US fighting two wars and printing money and raising interest rates. Japan can only sell US treasuries or raise rates. Yen will stay down.

Biden do not have support from the majority of Democrats,he is not in a position to support anything
