According to a source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the United States does not agree with the harsh wording regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine and would like it to be softened.

The Americans did not want some harsh statements against Russia to be included in the joint statement, as they feared it would jeopardize negotiations with that country to end the war," - the publication quotes a source.

It is noted that some points relating to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine will be included in the statement of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

He was expected to issue a statement calling for increased pressure on Russia through sanctions and announcing that the G7 supports US-led peace efforts.

According to a European official, the G7 leaders in a conversation with US President Donald Trump stressed their plans to take a tough stance on Russia, but the White House chief made it clear that he did not want to impose sanctions.
