G7 Nations Pledge Unwavering Support for Ukraine, Consider New Sanctions on Russia Amid U.S.-Iran Peace Deal

G7 leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Merz, pledged 'unwavering support' for Ukraine and agreed to intensify sanctions on Russia. A preliminary peace deal between the U.S. and Iran, signed by Trump, was also welcomed, though not all sources confirmed its details. The summit in Evian, France, saw discussions on energy sanctions and potential re-imposition of waived sanctions on Russia.

G7 leaders, including the United States, Germany, and France, united in their 'unwavering support' for Ukraine, agreeing to increase pressure on Russia through sanctions and weapons supplies.
