G7 Summit: Climate goals may be in conflict with fallout from Russian invasion
G7 and other nations have closed ranks and issued sanctions against Russia since the invasion of Ukraine in February and have collectively spent billions to send aid and arms to the embattled country.
India is not a G7 nation, but German Chancellor Olaf Scholz invited the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take part in the talks.India, which has evolved as a growing market for Russian oil, abstained from a March vote at the United Nations to condemn Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Trudeau said he’s spoken to Scholz about the need to invest in infrastructure to help wean Europe off of Russian oil, adding Canada can be part of the solution.The prime minister has not yet said how Canada could help, but it will be the subject of the first session of the talks.
The conflict in Ukraine has also curtailed supplies of Russian and Ukrainian grain to some of the world’s most vulnerable countries.
