BERLIN (Reuters) – Finance chiefs from the Group of Seven leading economies discussed proposals for further sanctions at a virtual meeting on Tuesday, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said.
“We had an exchange on the implementation of the current sanctions and we also exchanged proposals on what additional measures could be taken,” Lindner told reporters after the meeting, which Ukraine’s finance minister joined as a guest.
Germany, which holds the rotating G7 presidency, would assess these proposals “and in the coming days there will be an agreement on this,” he said, adding: “We want to isolate Russia politically, financially and economically.”
