After the summit concluded, Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement summarising deliberations: "G7 leaders expressed support for President Trump's efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine," it said.

"They recognised that Ukraine has committed to an unconditional ceasefire, and they agreed that Russia must do the same. G7 leaders are resolute in exploring all options to maximise pressure on Russia, including financial sanctions."

President Donald Trump, who departed early to address escalating tensions in the Middle East, did not meet with Zelensky, leaving key discussions unresolved. Zelensky noted that diplomacy is faltering and urged world leaders to press Trump for more decisive action.
