The leaders of the countries of the Group of 7 (G7) <\/b>issued a joint statement following yesterday\u2019s session of the Evian <\/b>summit, in which they declare their \u201cunwavering support for Ukraine <\/b>in defending its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity,\u201d despite initial concerns about the stance of Donald Trump <\/b>and Washington\u2019s position during yesterday\u2019s talks.<\/p>\n
In the statement <\/b>issued overnight, the G7 leaders praised the resilience <\/b>and progress made by Ukraine <\/b>on the front lines in recent months<\/b> and emphasize that a new dynamic has now taken shape.<\/p>\n
To support and accelerate this new momentum, the G7 leaders <\/b>agreed to increase supplies to Ukraine <\/b>with air defense systems and additional weapon systems <\/b>and interception systems, as well as long-range capabilities.<\/p>\n
They also declare their intention to extend licenses<\/b> to Kyiv <\/b>to enable an increase in weapons production in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to increasing pressure on the Russian war economy.<\/b> In this context, we will strengthen our sanctions, including in the oil and natural gas<\/b> sectors,\u201d the text of the statement<\/b> states.<\/p>\n
The text concludes with the praise for Trump that is essential at this time: \u201cWe believe this is the right time to move forward with additional measures, since President Trump <\/b>has reached an agreement\u2014which we support\u2014 to open the Strait of Hormuz<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the consensus among the 7<\/b> on the position to increase military support for Kyiv and pressure on Moscow<\/b> reflects the strengthening of Ukraine\u2019s<\/b> military and diplomatic position in recent times.<\/p>\n
Today, G7 leaders will discuss the issues of critical minerals<\/b> and global economic inequalities.<\/p>\n
France <\/b>is pressing its partners to issue a communiqu\u00e9 on critical minerals that will include measures to reduce the West\u2019s <\/b>on China <\/b>and to shield investors from countermeasures and dumping<\/b>, according to diplomatic sources.<\/p>\n
Regarding the issue of global economic inequalities, the talks will focus on international trade imbalances and \u201cpredatory competition\u201d<\/b>\u2014primarily by China.<\/p>\n
\u201cChina <\/b>produces too much, the U.S. <\/b>consumes too much, and the Europeans <\/b>invest too little,\u201d is how the French side summarizes the current state of global economic inequalities.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
