G7 countries advocate financial support for Kiev until 2027

G7 foreign ministers emphasized the need for long-term financial support for Ukraine amid uncertainties regarding U.S. assistance and EU funding disagreements. They acknowledged the urgency of addressing Ukraine's financial needs for 2027 and beyond, following a meeting in Paris. The ministers reiterated the importance of European involvement in future security negotiations. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Zelensky warned that the approved EU loan of 90 billion euros would be insufficient to cover the projected 70 billion euro deficit for 2027. Divergences among EU member states regarding financial contributions persist, particularly concerning the upcoming EU budget negotiations.
