G7 leaders have adopted a joint statement committing to increased deliveries of weapons, including air defence systems and long-range capabilities, while signalling the "right moment" has come to tighten the screws on Russia's energy sector.
The leaders of the G7 countries have been gathering in Évian-les-Bains, France, for the past two days. On Tuesday night, they endorsed a statement expressing "unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity."
The statement praises Ukraine for the new momentum it has built on the battlefield, and commits to sustaining that momentum through increased deliveries of air defence capabilities, additional systems and interceptors, and long-range capabilities.
