A very interesting communique from G7 leaders, including Trump (highlights mine):
We, the Leaders of the G7, stand united in our unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We reaffirm our solidarity with the Ukrainian population suffering from attacks on their critical infrastructure and cultural heritage. We commend Ukraine for its resilience and progress on the battlefield in recent months and emphasize there is now a new momentum.
To support and accelerate this new momentum, we agree to increase the delivery of air defence capacities, additional systems and interceptors, and long-range capabilities. We are also ready to consider extending to Ukraine the benefit of licenses to allow for an increase in Ukraine’s military production.
Please note, #Ukraine did not get recognition for "new momentum" for crying into Trump's or Macron's shoulder, but for periodic and decisive crossing of #Russia "red lines", most notably building a whole new military industry sector during war time and using it to project power on the morons from Kremlin. Frequently, directly contradicting Western "advice" or "deescalatory" policies. And they did so because Ukraine (and Poland, and Estonia, everyone in Eastern Europe) understood Putin's thinking thousands times better than the Western leaders.
