ウクライナ防空強化を支援　岸田首相、広島で「強い意思示す」―Ｇ７首脳会合

　【ベルリン時事】先進７カ国（Ｇ７）首脳は１２日、ビデオ会合を開き、ロシア軍によるインフラへのミサイル攻撃を念頭に、ウクライナへの軍事支援で「防空システムおよび能力の供与に、直近の焦点を当てる」と表明した。会合後の共同声明で明らかにした。
　ただ、ウクライナが求める米国製の地上配備型迎撃ミサイルシステム「パトリオット」の提供は明言しなかった。
　岸田文雄首相は会合で、Ｇ７次期議長国として広島で来年開く首脳会議（Ｇ７サミット）では「力による一方的現状変更や核による脅しを断固として拒否する」強い意思を示すと強調した。（2022/12/13-07:46）

The leaders of the Group of Seven major countries Monday vowed to help Ukraine strengthen its air defenses so that it can better counter Russian missile attacks targeting critical infrastructure.
   "We will continue to coordinate efforts to meet Ukraine's urgent requirements for military and defense equipment with an immediate focus on providing Ukraine with air defense systems and capabilities," the G-7 leaders said in a joint statement after a video conference.
   But the G-7 leaders stopped short of pledging to provide Ukraine with U.S.-made Patriot missile batteries.
   Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that the G-7 leaders will demonstrate their strong commitment to firmly reject any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or nuclear threats when they meet in Hiroshima, western Japan, next year.
   Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy showed his appreciation to each of the G-7 countries for their support in the war against Russia. For Japan, he expressed gratitude for its strong leadership in Asia.
