After a day of talks dominated by ongoing conflicts and global security concerns, G7 leaders have issued a joint statement this morning restating support for Ukraine and pledging to increase pressure on Russia.
It’s notable that the U.S. signed on to the statement, given Trump has not always seen eye-to-eye with Europe on this subject, or others.
The leaders reaffirmed their “unwavering support of Ukraine,” committing to increase military assistance, including the provision of “longer-range capabilities.”
“We commit to increase the pressure on the Russian war economy,” the statement said, referring to expanded sanctions targeting Russia’s oil and gas sectors.
Stressing the importance of Ukrainian energy resilience, the leaders said they “agree to provide further support to get the country through next winter.”
