G7 Agrees to Increase Weapon Deliveries to Ukraine

The Group of Seven has reached an agreement to boost military aid to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron announced following the group's summit in Evian-les-Bains on June 17, 2026. The commitment includes expanded deliveries of air defense systems, interceptor missiles, and long-range weapons capabilities. U.S. President Donald Trump highlighted the importance of mobilizing America's defense industry to fulfill the weapons provision, underscoring the nation's capacity to supply such systems. Additionally, some G7 members advocated for establishing licensed weapon production facilities within Ukrainian territory, a proposal that reflects discussions about sustaining military support over the longer term. Russia has reiterated its longstanding position that arming Ukraine will only prolong the conflict rather than resolve it.
