The G7 countries are considering new measures to support Ukraine, including the possibility of coordinated use of frozen Russian assets, APA reports, citing IZVESTIYA.

This is stated in the joint statement of the finance ministers, published on October 1.

"We are working on a wide range of options aimed at meeting Ukraine's financial needs and ensuring that Russia cannot wait out this situation," the document says.

According to the ministers, the time has come for "serious coordinated strengthening of measures" that should increase Ukraine's resilience and weaken Russia's military potential, TASS reports.

The G7 stressed that any actions will be taken in accordance with the legal norms of the participating countries.

Earlier, on September 19, the European Commission proposed a new, 19th package of anti-Russian sanctions, which covers 45 Russian and foreign companies. The package includes, among other things, a ban on investments in Russian special economic zones related to the Ukrainian conflict.
