Brought together on German soil by the conflict in Ukraine, the G7 leaders discussed a possible embargo on Russian gold, as well as how to reduce the economic impact caused by this war.
Gathered in Bavaria (Germany), what is the objective of the G7 leaders? “Officially, the American Joe Biden ensures that his partners remain together against Vladimir Putin. Emmanuel Macron, for his part, calls for re-intensifying support for Ukraine, and seems ready to join the embargo on Russian gold announced here“, explains, Sunday, June 26, the journalist Valérie Astruc, live from Germany. She nevertheless notes a certain fatigue and concern about the repercussions of the conflict on the ex-Western economies.
Emmanuel Macron, him, “insists on finding solutions to limit inflation and the risks of recession“, she adds.”Most of the Heads of State gathered here are already weakened, mistreated by their public opinion, which calls them to account. However, on the ground, the Ukrainian army is losing positions, not to mention the human cost. This conflict is therefore turning into a war of attrition between the two camps and this conflict could well be a critical moment for the seven heads of state gathered here“, concluded Valerie Astruc.
