Biden, G7 leaders announce joint declaration of support for Ukraine at NATO summit

Washington — President Biden and Group of 7 leaders announced Wednesday they are launching a long-term joint declaration of support for Ukraine aimed at helping the country bolster its military to defend itself from Russia's aggression and deter future threats.

"We're going to help Ukraine build a strong, capable defense across land, air and sea, from which they'll be a force of stability in the region and deter against any and all threats," Mr. Biden said in brief remarks alongside fellow G7 leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The president said the agreement makes it clear that support from Ukraine from the world's most powerful democracies "will last long into the future."
