1. G-7 ambassadors welcome the announcement made by the Cabinet of Ministers on the basic objectives and principles of public policy on February 11, 2016, in particular, zero tolerance to political interference and corruption. However, we believe much still needs to be done to implement these principles. Words need to be translated into actions.

2. G-7 ambassadors are fully committed to supporting Ukraine in its reform efforts and will continue to work together for the benefit of the people of Ukraine.

3. G-7 ambassadors are further committed to supporting a strong, united, accountable and reform-oriented government. We call on all Ukraine’s political institutions – the government, the Presidential Administration and the [Verkhovna] Rada – to work together.
