Summary
June 16 will bring Trump, Zelensky and other G7 leaders together for a working session in Evian-les-Bains focused on Ukraine, with no formal bilateral meeting scheduled yet.
Ukraine is pushing allies for additional military aid—especially air defense systems—as it keeps up long-range strikes on Russian targets and absorbs intensified Russian missile attacks.
A senior U.S. official said Russian advances have "more or less stopped," framing the summit discussion around both sustaining Kyiv and seeking a quicker end to the war.
France, holding the 2026 G7 presidency, has made major geopolitical crises a priority, putting continued support for Ukraine high on the June 15-17 summit agenda.
