G7 leaders meeting in Évian-les-Bains on Tuesday agreed to expand military support for Ukraine and tighten sanctions on Russia, with US President Donald Trump signing a joint communiqué that signals a rare moment of transatlantic unity on the war. The announcement, released on Wednesday, 17 June 2026, commits the Group of Seven to accelerate deliveries of air defence systems and long-range weapons while exploring licensing arrangements that would allow Ukraine to produce interceptor missiles domestically .

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters that G7 leaders had privately acknowledged that Vladimir Putin is not winning the war, describing his meeting with Trump as “very good” and expressing cautious optimism about the summit’s outcome . French President Emmanuel Macron, hosting the gathering in his final G7 summit, hailed the joint declaration as a victory for European diplomacy, noting that Trump had endorsed both stronger military backing for Kyiv and deeper economic pressure on Moscow .

The communiqué stops short of endorsing immediate peace talks but signals willingness to consider production licences that would enable Ukraine to manufacture its own missile interceptors, a move intended to bolster Kyiv’s long-term deterrence capacity . European diplomats quoted by Politico described a “certain sense of optimism” after the first full day of talks, with senior EU officials expressing reduced concern that next month’s NATO summit in Turkey might collapse over allied divisions .

Trump, who had previously urged Kyiv to negotiate directly with Moscow, framed the outcome as a step toward ending the conflict. “Russia should make peace deal with Ukraine,” he told reporters in Évian-les-Bains . Analysts cautioned, however, that no breakthrough is imminent. The Kyiv Post quoted a senior analyst warning that closed-door discussions had produced no tangible concessions from either side .

The G7 also signalled readiness to tighten sanctions on Russia’s oil and gas sector, with several leaders calling for measures targeting the Kremlin’s wartime revenue streams . German newspaper *Die Welt* reported that the renewed cohesion among Western allies had surprised observers, attributing it in part to Trump’s diplomatic setbacks in parallel negotiations over Iran .

Opinion: The future of the China-US-Russia triangle after Pelosis visit to Taiwan Since February 24, 2022, the international communitys focus was concentrated entirely on the war in Ukraine and the growing Russia – West confrontation. It seemed that nothing could change the situation until the end of hostilities in Ukraine. However, on August 2 and 3, almost everyones attention shifted from Ukraine to Taiwan. As the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, stated her intention to visit Taiwan, up to half a million people were watching the trajectory of her plane on air flight tracking sites. The negative reaction of China, including the warning of President Xi during his conversation with President Biden that those who played with fire would be perished by it, created hype around this visit. Many were discussing the possibility of Chinese military jets closing the airspace over Taiwan and preventing Pelosis plane from landing in Taiwan, while some enthusiasts were even contemplating the possibility of a US-China direct military clash. As Pelosi landed in Taiwan and met with the Taiwanese President, the global social media was full of amateur assessments about the strategic victory of the US and the confirmation of the US global hegemony. However, as the dust settles down, and information noise and manipulation eventually decreases, a more serious assessment is needed to understand the real consequences of this visit.
