Support to rebels may cost Russia more economic sanctions, warns G7

After the United States and the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia; G7 leaders have warned that more will follow if the nation continues to support pro-Russia separatists in Ukraine.

The G7 leader said that Russia had undermined Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence, reported the BBC. However, the group also added that the nation can still choose to de-escalate the conflict in Ukraine.

The group consists of the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada.
