The Group of Seven nations pledged to "stand firmly with Ukraine for as long as it takes" while promising more military aid and demanding Russia's immediate withdrawal from the country as it showered Ukrainian cities and civilian targets with more indiscriminate attacks that "constitute a war crime."
