BERLIN (Reuters) -The upcoming Group of Seven (G7) meeting in Canada will be about the extent to which the EU and U.S. align on sanctions against Russia, a German government official said on Thursday.
“In many respects, the G7 summit is also a milestone as far as Ukraine is concerned,” said the official, adding that it was important to keep the United States engaged and move the sanctions debate “a little bit further” in the right direction.
On continued military and financial support for Ukraine, the official said realism was needed.
“If we maintain the status quo, that the Americans continue to provide certain very important services to Ukraine, then we are doing well,” added the official.
