　先進７カ国（Ｇ７）とオーストラリアは１８日、ウクライナに侵攻したロシアに対する経済制裁の実効性を高めるため連携を強化していくことを盛り込んだ財務・司法担当相らによる共同声明を発表した。ロシアの支配層や新興財閥（オリガルヒ）などを「国際的な金融システムから孤立させるためのさらなる措置を取り、行動に対する結果責任を負わせる」と強調した。
　オンライン形式で１６日夜に開いた閣僚級会合の共同声明で、制裁対象となっている個人・団体の資産を特定し、「適切な場合には資産を没収、剥奪するために可能なすべての法的措置を取るため一体となって取り組む」と指摘した。（2022/03/18-23:38）

Finance and justice ministers of the Group of Seven major powers and Australia issued on Friday a statement featuring measures to enhance the effectiveness of economic sanctions against Russia for its aggression of Ukraine.
   After referring to Russian elites, proxies and oligarchs, the ministers said that "we take a further step to isolate them from the international financial system and impose consequences for their actions."
   The ministers also showed their commitment to "take all available legal steps to find, restrain, freeze, seize, and, where appropriate, confiscate or forfeit the assets of those individuals and entities that have been sanctioned."
   The ministers released the joint statement after Wednesday's first meeting, held online, of a task force to ensure the effectiveness of sanctions against Russian elites and others.
   "We are determined to deny them the ability to hide and benefit from their assets in all jurisdictions and to undermine the integrity of the international financial system," the statement said.
