Zelensky said he expected “important decisions” to be made at the G7 summit, where security agreements with Japan and the United States are also expected to be signed.
G7 nations earlier agreed to use future interest on about $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to fund a $50 billion loan to Ukraine, a senior U.S. official told reporters on the sidelines of the G7 meeting.
” [the summit] “We are focused on Ukraine, our defense and the resilience of our economy, and we look forward to important decisions today,” Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post.
G7 nations have been Ukraine’s main military and financial backers since Russia invaded the country in February 2022.
Zelensky also said he would sign two more security agreements with Tokyo and Washington on the sidelines of the summit.
Kiev has signed more than a dozen similar agreements with major Western donors outlining multiyear commitments to bolster and fund Ukraine’s defense and military.
“We will sign a bilateral security agreement. The document with the United States will be unprecedented,” Zelenskyy said.
