Ukraine called for more support during the G7 summit in Canada. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a direct appeal at the two-day gathering, while Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney announced fresh sanctions on Russia and a major new aid package for Kyiv.
Zelenskyy urged leaders to increase military assistance and step up pressure on Russia. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged more than $2 billion in drones, ammunition, and armoured vehicles for Ukraine, along with a $2.3 billion loan to help rebuild infrastructure that's been damaged by the war.
“With our international partners, we’re launching a major new package of sanctions on individuals, on companies, on vessels, the shadow fleet, to exert maximum pressure on Russia,” Carney said.
While Canada had hoped for a strong collective statement on Ukraine, the U.S. resisted.
Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for the new aid package and reiterated Ukraine’s willingness to negotiate peace—but he said only once Russia feels the full weight of international pressure.
"It’s important for our soldiers to be strong on the battlefield — to stay strong until Russia is ready for peace negotiations," Zelenskyy said.
"We are ready for peace negotiations, an unconditional ceasefire," he added.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin dismissed the G7 as “rather useless,” reflecting ongoing divisions among global powers.
