What happened
Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) met in Evian, France, to discuss the future of Ukraine and new sanctions against Russia. The leaders vowed to increase pressure on the Russian war economy, including strengthening existing sanctions on the oil and gas sectors. Discussions focused on enhanced air defense capabilities and long-range support for Ukraine, which President Zelenskyy discussed with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Why it matters
The G7 leaders stated they were considering new energy sanctions as the Strait of Hormuz was expected to reopen. These talks took place against a backdrop of rising global inflation and energy price hikes driven by the conflict. The leaders also discussed a deal President Trump had proposed regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
Donald Trump was urged to facilitate peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, a push praised by Friedrich Merz.
