Leaders of the G7 Summit have agreed to increase deliveries of air defense systems to support Ukraine. They also expressed readiness to consider transferring licenses for the production of interceptor missiles on Ukrainian territory, according to a joint statement cited by UATV English.
The leaders expressed solidarity with the Ukrainian people, highlighting the resilience and battlefield achievements of Ukraine’s Defense Forces. To help consolidate these gains, G7 countries agreed to supply additional air defense systems and interceptor missiles, including long-range strike capabilities for the Ukrainian military.
The leaders also indicated their willingness to consider granting Ukraine special licensing arrangements that would allow foreign weapons systems to be produced legally and on a large scale at Ukrainian manufacturing facilities.
A separate section of the statement focused on preparations for the coming winter. G7 members pledged additional funding and equipment to strengthen Ukraine’s energy resilience.
“We agreed to increase deliveries of air defense assets, additional systems and interceptors, as well as long-range strike capabilities. We are also prepared to consider extending to Ukraine the benefits of licensing agreements that would increase the country’s military production capacity. We emphasize the importance of energy resilience in line with the needs and priorities identified by the Ukrainian authorities. We agreed to provide further support to help the country get through the next winter. We are committed to increasing pressure on Russia’s war economy. We will strengthen our sanctions, particularly in the oil and gas sector,” the joint statement reads.
The G7 leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to increasing pressure on Russia through additional sanctions, particularly targeting the energy sector.
As previously reported, the United Kingdom will allocate £210 million to supply enriched uranium in support of Ukraine’s nuclear energy sector. Keir Starmer announced the measure as part of broader efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s energy security.
