Can G7 remain united against President Vladimir Putin?

Four months of war in Ukraine have exposed deep divisions in the global order.

But the fighting is also highlighting – and testing – some of the oldest and strongest alliances.

The G7, a group of the world’s seven largest economies, is meeting this week in Germany.

Sanctions on Russia by some G7 members – and counter sanctions from Russia – have disrupted everything they’ve touched: From oil prices, to supply chains, to the price of bread on the other side of the world.

But are sanctions enough?

And – can this group remain united against Vladimir Putin?
