According to UATV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that all G7 nations have pledged full support for Ukraine. During the summit held in France, discussions centered on tightening sanctions against Russia, providing military aid—particularly air defense systems—and restoring the historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. The G7 leaders condemned Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure, underscoring their commitment to Ukraine's defense.

Overnight on June 15, strikes targeted the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, sparking international concern. French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to rebuild the protective sarcophagus at the Chernobyl site, stressing regional safety. Zelenskyy noted that France fully grasps the risks posed by Russia's dangerous attacks.

Switzerland stepped forward with its own initiative, vowing to assist in restoring the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for this support, stating:

“Thank you to Switzerland for this initiative and support.”

Zelenskyy Meets with Donald Trump

A pivotal moment came on June 16, when Zelenskyy met with Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit. Zelenskyy emphasized that all G7 countries will collaborate to strengthen Ukraine's defenses, declaring:

“Everyone will help—absolutely the entire G7 will work to enhance our protection.”

The Ukrainian president also stressed the need to maintain pressure on Russia, stating: 'Putin does not want to end this, but we must force him.' He pointed to tangible results from existing sanctions, noting: 'We can already see how middle strikes and Ukraine's long-range sanctions are curbing Russia's energy sales.'

In summary, the G7 summit produced key agreements on supporting Ukraine, countering Russian aggression, and restoring cultural landmarks like the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. These efforts reflect a coordinated international response to the ongoing conflict.

Zelenskyy's remarks at the G7 summit highlight the growing global solidarity with Ukraine amid Russia's continued aggression. The backing from G7 nations and initiatives to rebuild cultural heritage sites demonstrate the international community's focus on regional stability and security, as well as the importance of preserving Ukraine's historical legacy. At the same time, maintaining sanctions pressure on Russia remains a critical component of Ukraine's strategic plan and its partners' efforts to defend its independence and territorial integrity.
