The G7 leaders said they were committed to bringing peace to Ukraine "in line with their rights enshrined in the UN Charter".
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said there was little chance of any peace talks anytime soon.
"I believe the military confrontation will continue, and I think we still have to wait for a moment in which serious talks for peace will be possible," he said in late December.
