We welcome the UK’s announcement that they will increase defense spending to 2.5% of their GDP by 2030, in addition to sending $620 million in new military aid to Ukraine. We applaud the UK for their commitment to NATO and support for Ukraine amid Russia’s war of aggression.

Standing up for freedom and human rights is the right thing to do. It is also profoundly in our national interest. Because countries that respect human rights are more likely to be peaceful, prosperous, and stable.

The G7 remains unwavering in our support for Ukraine.

Putin thinks he can outlast Ukraine. But here's our message out of Capri: He can't.

Every G7 member is making extraordinary contributions to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia’s unjust war of aggression.
