Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday that Ukraine had secured important commitments from Group of Seven (G7) leaders for additional military, energy and economic support as the country continues to defend itself against Russia’s invasion.

Following the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, Zelenskyy said world leaders agreed to strengthen Ukraine’s air defence capabilities, support its energy resilience and impose further sanctions on Russia.

“The G7 Summit in France delivered important results for Ukraine. Most importantly, we agreed on additional strengthening of Ukraine’s air defense,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.

He said Ukraine’s partners had pledged continued support for the country’s defence sector and energy infrastructure while also increasing pressure on Moscow through new sanctions.

French President Emmanuel Macron said the summit demonstrated what he described as an “unprecedented convergence” among G7 leaders, including US President Donald Trump, on maintaining support for Ukraine.

The summit came as Zelenskyy continues efforts to rally international backing and diplomatically isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the war, which began with Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 and is now in its fifth year.

Zelenskyy is expected to attend a European Union summit in Brussels on Thursday. Earlier this week, Ukraine officially launched negotiations for membership in the EU, beginning a process that could take years to complete.

The ongoing conflict involving Iran has diverted some international attention from efforts to resolve the war in Ukraine. Against that backdrop, Zelenskyy sought to engage with Trump during the G7 gathering, where several key European leaders were also present.

According to observers, Putin has sought to sideline both Kyiv and European partners by pursuing direct discussions with Washington regarding the future of the conflict.
