Overview
- Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said he and U.S. president Donald Trump discussed organizing a three‑way meeting with Vladimir Putin during a June 14 phone call and agreed to meet on the sidelines of the Évian G7 summit.
- G7 leaders at Évian expressed a shared view that Russia is not winning the war and discussed stepped‑up pressure including potential new oil and gas sanctions and expanded financial and shipping measures.
- Several governments announced fresh sanctions during the summit, with the United Kingdom and Canada targeting Russia's shadow fleet, banks and firms linked to military procurement.
- Summit discussions also focused on bolstering Ukraine's defenses, with leaders weighing additional deliveries of air‑defence systems and missiles that U.S. and allied officials say would strengthen Ukraine's ability to repel attacks.
- Moscow has not accepted any trilateral talks and Russian officials invoked unspecified past understandings between Putin and Trump that Washington denies, leaving prospects for a formal three‑way summit unresolved while Western leaders coordinate policy and aid.
