US signals to return of sanctions on Russia as G7 unites around Ukraine

The G7 leaders have united to increase pressure on Russia to end its conflict in Ukraine, with the US signaling a potential return to sanctions that had been waived. President Trump suggested that Russia should negotiate, hinting at the re-imposition of sanctions if no deal is reached. Ukrainian President Zelensky attended the summit, hoping that with progress on other fronts like the US-Iran deal, the US might focus more on resolving this long-standing European conflict. This move underscores the global stakes in the Ukraine war and the potential impact on international diplomacy and economic relations.
