On the final day of the G7 summit in France on Tuesday, President Trump shifted his stance on Ukraine, telling reporters that Russia 'should make a deal' to end the conflict.
This change follows intensive lobbying by European leaders and a private meeting with President Zelenskyy, marking a departure from earlier remarks where Trump claimed the war had no impact on the U.S. The G7 nations responded by signing a joint declaration that pledges new air defense systems for Kyiv and tighter sanctions on Russian energy exports. This unified front suggests a 'fragile alignment' as allies seek to ensure continued American support against Russian aggression.
Observers now expect a flurry of diplomatic activity as Zelenskyy travels to Brussels to solidify these new military and financial commitments.
