Statement by the President of the European Commission on the G7 declaration to be adopted in the margins of the NATO summit

Since day one of the invasion, the European Union and its G7 partners have stood shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine.

We have provided the brave Ukrainian people humanitarian support, substantial financial assistance as well as weapons and training.

Today, we are committing to Ukraine's long-term security and economic prosperity within the Euro-Atlantic community.

The G7 will issue today a declaration to this effect.

The EU will be a key partner in this endeavour.

We will continue to support Ukraine's economic endurance so it can stand up to Russia's aggression.

We will continue to impose costs on Russia through sanctions.

We will continue to hold Russia accountable for its war crimes.

And we will continue, through Ukraine's accession path, to support its admirable reform efforts.
