G7 vows sanctions on sectors on which Russia is dependent

G7 industrialised nations on Saturday vowed to expand sanctions to include sectors on which Russia is dependent, as they also warned China against undermining punitive action against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.

“We reaffirm our determination to further increase economic and political pressure on Russia, continuing to act in unity,” they said in a statement, adding that they “will broaden our sanctions measures to include sectors on which Russia has a particular dependence.”
