G7 leaders issued a joint statement expressing unwavering support for Ukraine's right to defend its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and agreed to increase pressure on Russia by providing additional weapons and aid, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The statement marks a unified stance at the summit, calling for further measures against Moscow.
G7 leaders meeting in France issued a joint statement on Wednesday morning pledging unified support for Ukraine, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), who cited the declaration. The leaders said they are "united in uncompromising support for Ukraine in its right to defend its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity" and agreed to increase pressure on Russia by providing additional weapons and aid. The statement comes at a moment when U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled openness to tightening sanctions on Moscow, as The Zioneer reported earlier this morning from diplomatic briefings. The declaration follows a series of G7 discussions on Ukraine that have also included the recent US-Iran agreement and Lebanon ceasefire — which the leaders also endorsed — but the Ukraine plank marks a notable show of consensus among nations that have at times differed on the pace of escalation against Russia. Leaders said "this is the right moment for additional steps against Russia," though no specific new sanctions or military aid packages were detailed in the declaration.
