G7 Leaders Statement on Ukraine-30/07/2014
Thu Dec 10 , 2020
We remain convinced that there must be a political solution to the current conflict, which is causing rising numbers of civilian casualties. We call for a peaceful settlement of the crisis in Ukraine, and underline the need to implement President Poroshenko's peace plan without any further delay. To this end, we urge all parties to establish a swift, genuine and sustainable general cease-fire on the basis of the Berlin Declaration of 2 July with the aim of maintaining Ukraine's territorial integrity.

We support the OSCE and the Trilateral Contact Group as central players in creating the conditions for a ceasefire.
