G7 Leaders Pledge More Aid to Ukraine as Zelensky Appeals for Weapons and Fuel

Leaders of the G7, including President Joe Biden, have agreed to set up a multiagency platform to coordinate aid to Ukraine. Monday’s agreement followed a virtual summit between G7 leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who appealed for new shipments of tanks, artillery, long-range rockets and other weapons. Zelensky also called on allies to ship natural gas to Ukraine amid rolling blackouts caused by a wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure.
