European G7 nations and the United States are to grant licenses for Ukraine-based companies to produce long-range missiles and air defense systems, a diplomatic source said Wednesday, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirming the move.
The announcement comes during a three-day G7 meeting in the French town of Evian of the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, who pledged to intensify pressure on Russia to end more than four years of war against Ukraine.
“We are going to produce under license not only air defense systems, but also deep-strike capabilities,” said the diplomatic source.
