ELMAU, Germany (AP) — Leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies have struck a united stance Tuesday to support Ukraine for “as long as necessary” as Russia’s invasion grinds on.

They say they will explore far-reaching steps to cap Kremlin income from oil sales that are financing the war.

The final statement from the Group of Seven sets up more discussion in the weeks ahead to “explore” measures to bar import of Russian oil above a certain level.

Leaders also agreed on a ban on imports of Russian gold and to step up aid to countries hit with food shortages by the blockage on Ukraine grain shipments through the Black Sea.
