Diplomacy and politics
Japan’s Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa emphasized that the Group of Seven (G7) will continue to back Ukraine in its struggle against Russia despite the escalating violence in the Middle East, as the foreign ministers of the G7 prepared for their meeting in Tokyo. At a news conference, Kamikawa stated that the group’s “strong support for Ukraine” had “not wavered at all.” After meeting with Kamikawa, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken subsequently stated that a major topic on the agenda for the discussions was the G7’s “enduring support” for Ukraine.
The US said that Russia was funding a misinformation operation throughout Latin America with the intention of eroding support for Ukraine and inflaming anti-US and anti-NATO feelings. According to a statement from the State Department, “the Kremlin’s ultimate goal appears to be to launder its propaganda and disinformation through local media in a way that feels organic to Latin American audiences.”
Following Russia’s official withdrawal, White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby stated that the United States could not remain in the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, a crucial post-Cold War accord. Signed by 22 nations in 1990, the CFE places equal restrictions on the amount of equipment that NATO and the Warsaw Pact, which was headed by the Soviet Union at the time, might station between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ural Mountains. This included tanks, heavy artillery, and combat aircraft.
