The leaders of the G7 convened today to reaffirm their steadfast support for Ukraine following a discussion with President Volodymyr Zelensky. The joint statement issued by the G7 leaders underscores their solidarity with Ukraine during a critical juncture, particularly as the status of U.S. funding for Ukraine remains uncertain.
During a more than 90-minute call earlier today, President Biden engaged with fellow G7 leaders to emphasize their unwavering commitment to bolstering Ukraine's capabilities in its conflict with Russia. This declaration assumes significance against the backdrop of ongoing deliberations within the U.S. Congress regarding the passage of a national security supplemental package aimed at furnishing essential aid to Ukraine.
The G7 leaders reiterated their pledge to provide Ukraine with the necessary resources to effectively combat Russian aggression. The joint statement encapsulated their collective resolve, stating, 'As Ukraine enters the third year of this relentless war, its government and its people can count on the G7's support for as long as it takes.'
Looking ahead, with Congress set to reconvene next week, President Biden is expected to continue advocating for the expeditious approval of the funding bill to ensure Ukraine receives the critical assistance it requires to confront the ongoing challenges.
