The debate over sanctions comes as intensified Russian strikes on Ukraine killed at least 14 people and injured 117 in Kyiv overnight on June 17.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the sanctions package alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of a meeting on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Alberta.

Leaders of the Group of Seven nations issued a joint statement urging de-escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran and reaffirmed their stance that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

The summit takes place amid growing geopolitical challenges, including the conflict in the Middle East and a trade war driven by US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies

The prime minister says the conference is an opportunity to have a broad conversation with allies about global security in a "constructive way".

Speaking alongside UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at the G7 summit in Canada on Monday, Trump said he was sceptical of new sanctions on Russia, even as other members of the group were expected to announce further punitive measures against Moscow.

The G7 summit continues today without U.S. President Donald Trump, who left the talks ahead of schedule on Monday.

The UK has announced plans for further sanctions, but Donald Trump's presence is already destablising G7 unity.

No 10 says G7 allies back the measures - but Donald Trump indicates the US will not impose more sanctions now.

G7 leaders arrived in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, for three days of intense discussion, amid tension in the Middle East and alliance changes.
