G7 Ukraine war uses seized Russian assets, long-term war, Gaza war ‘rejects’ ceasefire

At the G7 summit, a joint statement was made on the use of Russian seized assets to pay for the war in Ukraine, which turned into a long-term war. The Gaza war, which the United States was pressuring for a ceasefire, was rejected by both Israel and Hamas, showing signs that the war will continue until the U.S. presidential election.
The G7 summit in Italy, where the Biden administration's attempts to bring an early end to the two major wars were concentrated, failed by specifying the use of Russian assets in a joint statement and resolving a cease-fire plan that the parties to the Gaza war did not agree to.
President Biden signed a 10-year security agreement with Ukrainian President Zelensky just before the G7, but in May Russian attacks on the northeastern city of Kharkiv had already "reached their peak," a NATO officer said, and Russian casualties were rising. NATO officials predicted that Russia's offensive would increase in line with the '75th anniversary of NATO' in July.
The U.S.-Ukraine security agreement has a major proviso, “Either party may terminate this agreement by written notification through diplomatic channels,” followed by a termination clause.
Due to this termination clause in the security agreement, former Republican President Trump immediately annulled the Iran nuclear deal that the Democratic Obama administration signed jointly with the European Union in 2018.
Former U.S. Republican President Trump expressed disdain for the war in Ukraine, saying, "I want to get rid of the enormous financial support that the U.S. is pouring into Ukraine," and "we can end the war within 24 hours," and appears to have previously announced the use of this provision, New York said. The Times diagnosed.
The strategy designed by the U.S. Treasury Secretary to use $50 billion in interest income from $300 billion in Russian seized assets and Ukraine's war and recovery funds was included in the joint statement at the G7 summit, which Russian President Putin said “can protect the territory already occupied.” This appears to be the basis for what was said.
Yomiuri, which reported on the joint statement released on the 13th, will use Russia's frozen assets to create a fund using a new Ukrainian military, financial support, and reconstruction fund with financial support from Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Regarding the use of Russia's frozen assets, the joint statement said, "Under international law, the obligation to compensate Russia for damages is clear," and specified a support policy worth $50 billion by the end of this year, confirming "use before the U.S. presidential election."
NYT said, “If the $50 billion loan is repaid this year, it will be more difficult for the next president to get it back,” and “The money is coming in at the right time, and Ukraine’s budget situation is already so serious that it is at the stage of selling some state assets.” Diagnosed through use.
Regarding the loan agreement, U.S. President Biden said, “The agreement guarantees the supply of weapons, intelligence support, advice, and technology necessary to win the war and deter new wars,” and said, “Early execution of armaments.”
Asked about Israel and Hamas' rejection of the US-proposed ceasefire at the G7 press conference, President Biden said, "I hope you guys will just follow the rules a little bit," and added, "I'm here to talk about the critical situation in Ukraine." “You are asking me about another topic. I will answer in detail later,” the NYT said.
While President Biden faced protests from various parts of the United States against the Gaza War, he attempted to rally the world around Ukraine at the G7 summit and seemed unwavering in strengthening support for Israel in its war against Hamas.
“In exercising its right to defend itself, Israel must fully comply with its obligations under international law in all circumstances, including international humanitarian law,” the G7 joint statement said. “We urge Hamas to continue to use civilian infrastructure for its military activities.” “We condemn the failure to separate and distinguish from civilians in the Gaza Strip.”
Regarding the G7 summit, the NYT evaluated, “As Biden unites the world around Ukraine, his method of firmly supporting Israel in the war against Hamas is becoming more and more isolated.”
Russian President Putin announced on the 14th that he would order an "immediate" ceasefire in Ukraine and begin negotiations if Ukraine withdraws its troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow and abandons its plan to join NATO in 2022, and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy announced this final decision. refused the invitation.
