OTTAWA, Canada – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has departed the Group of Seven (G7) summit, hosted by Canada, securing new aid commitments from his Canadian counterparts but expressing profound frustration over what he termed a “crisis” in diplomacy. His remarks specifically highlighted a missed opportunity to directly press U.S. President Donald Trump for additional crucial weaponry, a key objective for Kyiv amidst the ongoing conflict.

The G7 summit, which concluded its main sessions today, saw leaders from the world’s leading economies discuss pressing global issues, with the war in Ukraine being a central focus. President Zelenskiy’s presence was aimed at rallying continued international support and accelerating the delivery of military assistance.

Upon his departure, President Zelenskiy confirmed that Canada, as the summit’s host, had pledged significant new aid to Ukraine, though specific details of the package were not immediately disclosed. This commitment builds on Canada’s consistent support for Kyiv since the conflict’s onset.
