Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy left the G7 summit on June 17 with fresh aid from host nation Canada for Ukraine’s fight against Russia but without a unified declaration of support from G7 members or an opportunity to meet US President Donald Trump.
Zelenskyy said he had told the G7 leaders that "diplomacy is now in a state of crisis" and said they need to continue calling on Trump "to use his real influence" to force an end to the war, in a post on his Telegram account.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Ottawa would provide C$2 billion ($1.47 billion) in new military assistance for Kyiv as well as impose new financial sanctions, Reuters reported.
G7 statement on Russia-Ukraine war
In a chair statement, G7 leaders voiced support for President Trump’s efforts to secure a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
The statement acknowledged Ukraine’s commitment to an unconditional ceasefire and urged Russia to do the same. It also affirmed the G7’s determination to explore all possible measures, including financial sanctions, to increase pressure on Moscow.
