The United States joined its Group of Seven (G7) allies on Friday to voice “unwavering support” for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and urge Russia to accept a cease-fire deal that will end the war in Ukraine.

The G7 nations welcomed a U.S.-brokered 30-day cease-fire deal to end the war, which Ukraine has agreed to, and called on Russia to “reciprocate by agreeing to a ceasefire on equal terms.”
