The leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) vowed to increase pressure on the Russian economy in a statement published on Wednesday morning.
"To support and accelerate this new momentum, we agree to increase the delivery of air defense capacities, additional systems and interceptors, and long-range capabilities," the leaders' statement read.
The leaders committed to increasing "the pressure on the Russian war economy. In this context, we will strengthen our sanctions, including those on the oil and gas sectors."
"We consider this the right moment to proceed with additional measures, as President Trump has delivered a deal that we support in reopening the Strait of Hormuz," the statement continued.
The statement rounded out the upbeat sentiment that played out on Tuesday when the leaders of the G7 kicked off their first official agenda, discussing Ukraine at the top of the meeting.
