ロシアの動員令、「核のレトリック」批判　一段の制裁追求―Ｇ７外相

　【ベルリン時事】先進７カ国（Ｇ７）議長国のドイツは２２日声明を発表し、Ｇ７外相が２１日にニューヨークで行った会合で、ロシアによる部分的動員令や「無責任な核のレトリック」は遺憾であり、ロシアへの一段の制裁を追求するとの認識で一致したと明らかにした。
　声明は、ウクライナ東部や南部の親ロシア派によるロシアへの編入に向けた住民投票について「偽の投票」と強く批判。編入はウクライナの主権と国連憲章への重大な違反で、各国に投票結果を認めないよう呼び掛けた。（2022/09/22-20:34）

Foreign ministers of the Group of Seven major powers criticized Russia's nuclear rhetoric in a meeting held in New York on Wednesday, according to a statement issued Thursday.
   The G-7 ministers "deplored deliberate Russian escalatory steps, including the partial mobilization of reservists and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric," said the statement by Germany, which chaired the meeting.
   The G-7, also including Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Japan and the United States plus the European Union, agreed to "pursue further targeted sanctions and are committed to sustained economic and political pressure on Russia."
   The ministers "strongly condemned Russia's announcement to conduct sham referenda on sovereign Ukrainian territory," the statement said.
   "Any annexation of Ukrainian territory would be a gross violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and the U.N. Charter," the statement said, urging "all states to unequivocally condemn any referenda and not to recognize the results."
