The leaders of the G7 countries have agreed to step up military support for Ukraine. In particular, they will increase supplies of air defence equipment, expand the capacity to strike behind enemy lines, and assist with the large-scale production of weapons at Ukrainian factories. At the same time, new sanctions are planned which will target key sectors of Russia’s energy industry.
- The G7 will urgently step up the supply of air defence systems to Ukraine.
- A significant expansion of the transfer of long-range weapons is envisaged.
- Ukraine is set to receive licences for the large-scale production of foreign weapons.
- G7 leaders are preparing a new package of sanctions against Russia’s oil and gas sectors.
Expansion of air defence system supplies to Ukraine
The G7 countries have decided to urgently increase supplies of air defence systems, additional anti-aircraft systems and interceptor missiles to Ukraine. This is intended to strengthen the protection of Ukrainian airspace and improve the effectiveness of defences against air and missile attacks.
Increasing the number and quality of air defence systems will enable the Armed Forces of Ukraine to better control the airspace, which is critical to the successful conduct of military operations and the preservation of strategic positions.
Stepping up long-range strikes against the enemy’s rear
Leaders G7 They also agreed on a significant increase in the supply of long-range strike capabilities. This means expanding the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ ability to strike key enemy targets far behind the front line.
Such a move could significantly complicate the enemy’s logistics and combat operations, undermining its ability to launch offensives and sustain the front.
Support for arms production in Ukraine
One of the key points of the communiqué was the agreement on the granting of special licences to Ukraine, which will enable the production of foreign-made weapons to be scaled up legally and on a large scale at Ukrainian factories. This will create the conditions for strengthening the country’s defence capabilities through the development of its own defence industry.
As a result, Ukraine will be able to supply its troops with the necessary types of weapons more promptly and reduce its reliance on imports.
A new package of sanctions against the Russian Federation’s oil and gas sectors
G7 leaders have announced plans for a new, robust package of sanctions targeting Russia’s oil and gas sectors. These measures are intended to increase economic pressure on the Russian Federation by limiting its ability to finance military operations.
Sanctions could have a significant impact on Russian budget revenues, which in the long term would weaken Russia’s ability to sustain the war against Ukraine.
