The allies also intend to increase the transfer of long-range capabilities to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, the G7 does not rule out granting Ukraine special licenses that would allow it to increase the production of foreign weapons directly at Ukrainian enterprises.<\/p>\n<p> The statement paid special attention to preparations for the heating season. The leaders of the countries assured that they would continue to support Ukraine&#8217;s energy sustainability.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We agree to provide further support to help the country get through the coming winter,&#8221; the document emphasized.<\/p>\n<p> The G7 countries have also announced increased economic pressure on Russia. In particular, they are talking about new restrictions on the oil and gas sectors, which remain one of the main sources of financing for the Russian military machine.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We commit to increasing pressure on the Russian military economy. In this context, we will strengthen our sanctions, in particular on the oil and gas sectors,&#8221; the G7 leaders said.<\/p>\n<p> The G7 believes that the current international situation creates favorable conditions for introducing additional sanctions against the Kremlin.<\/p>\n<p> Recall that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ukrainska-balistyka-udary-po-rosii-ta-ataky-na-kyiv-holovni-zaiavy-fedorova\/\">Ukraine continues to develop its own ballistic weapons<\/a> , which in the future will be able to strike at Russian territory and significantly influence the course of the war.<\/p>\n<p> As reported the day before, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/patriot-drony-ta-novi-domovlenosti-dlia-ukrainy-zelenskyy-pidbyv-pidsumky-g7\/\">during the G7 summit, partners confirmed their readiness to continue supporting Ukraine in the areas of security, energy, and the restoration of facilities damaged as a result of Russian aggression.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G7 leaders confirmed their intention to strengthen military and economic support for Ukraine.
