📋 Tender Overview
The text of the following statement was released by the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union.
Begin Text:
We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the EU, condemn in the strongest possible terms Irans export and Russias procurement of Iranian ballistic missiles.
Evidence that Iran has continued to transfer weaponry to Russia despite repeated international calls to stop represents a further escalation of Irans military support to Russias war of aggression against Ukraine. Russia has used Iranian weaponry such as UAVs to kill Ukrainian civilians and strike their critical infrastructure. Russias aggression constitutes a flagrant violation of international law including the UN Charter.
Iran must immediately cease all support to Russias illegal and unjustifiable war against Ukraine and halt such transfers of ballistic missiles, UAVs and related technology, which constitute a direct threat to the Ukrainian people as well as European and international security more broadly.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to hold Iran to account for its unacceptable support for Russias illegal war in Ukraine that further undermines global security. In line with our previous statements on the matter, we are already responding with new and significant measures.
