Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Joe Biden for the pact but said “the question has to be for how long the unity will last,” given upcoming US elections.
US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday signed a long-term agreement designed to bolster Ukraine’s defences against Russia’s invasion.
Biden said the agreement to tap into the windfall profits on some $US280 billion in frozen Russian assets held in Europe would put that money to work for Ukraine. She compared the G7 to the ancient olive trees that are a symbol of the Puglia region, “with their solid roots, and branches projected toward the future.”Beyond discussing Ukraine, the war in Gaza and China’s industrial policy, Pope Francis will become the first pope to address a G7 summit, adding a dash of celebrity and moral authority to the annual gathering.
Meloni went into the meeting fortified at home and abroad after her far-right party had an even stronger showing in the European Parliament election than in the national general election in 2022 that made her Italy’s first female premier. Known for its revolving-door governments, Italy is now in the unusual position of being the most stable power in the EU.
