G7 leaders pledge increased support
Bangkok Post
|June 19, 2025
Group of Seven leaders on Tuesday vowed greater support for Ukraine but stopped short of joint condemnation of Russia for its growing attacks, at a summit missing Donald Trump.
-
The US president had been due to speak at the G7 summit with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, with whom he has had a volatile relationship, but flew back on Monday over the Israel-Iran conflict.
Mr Zelensky met the remaining leaders at a remote lodge in the Canadian Rockies hours after Russia hit Kyiv with one of the worst bombardments since it invaded in February 2022, killing at least 10 people in the capital.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed Zelensky and announced Can$2 billion (48 billion baht) of military support, including drones and helicopters, for Ukraine.
But the G7 summit stopped short of issuing a joint statement, unlike in past years under Mr Trump's predecessor Joe Biden when the club of major industrial democracies denounced Russian “aggression”.
