They stressed the critical need to release Ukrainian grain, warning of potential famine for 50 million people, and pledged humanitarian aid while Canada offered shipping assistance.
The G-7 explicitly urged China to refrain from supporting Russia's aggression, including by circumventing sanctions or legitimizing Moscow's actions, and to uphold Ukraine's sovereignty.
Discussions included utilizing frozen Russian state assets to finance Ukraine's reconstruction, acknowledging legal complexities but emphasizing Russia's responsibility for war damages.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
