Reference News Network reported on June 26, according to a report by AFP Berlin on June 24, in a series of summits starting on the 26th, Western leaders will seek to "work in close solidarity" to provide aid to Ukraine in the fight against Russia. .

　　In these face-to-face talks, Western allies will assess the effects of sanctions against Russia so far, consider new military and economic aid to Kyiv, and set their sights on longer-term reconstruction plans, the report said.

But Western leaders will also have to struggle to maintain this united front against the widening shocks of the war — soaring prices, food shortages, unstable energy supplies.

　　The G7 summit will open on Sunday in the Bavarian mountain resort of Schloss Elmau in southern Germany.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned this week that allies need to maintain their stamina in helping Ukraine.

Scholz said that the Ukrainian-Russian peace talks are still far away, so Western countries must insist on implementing sanctions against Russia and coordinate military aid and financial support to Ukraine.

　　After the conclusion of the G7 summit on the 28th, leaders of various countries will rush to Madrid to participate in the NATO summit.

The report mentioned that the summit was clearly divided on the issue of admitting Sweden and Finland, because Turkey expressed its opposition to the application of the two countries to join the treaty.

　　According to reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will participate in the G7 summit and the NATO summit by video. His appeal is very obvious, that is, to continue to call for pressure on Russia and to provide his troops with more weapons.

Western allies have provided Ukraine with billions of dollars in economic aid and arms.

But as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict enters its fifth month, Ukraine has repeatedly warned that it needs far more aid than it currently does to counter an overwhelming Russian offensive.

　　The report mentioned that after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Western countries coordinated unprecedented actions to try to destroy the Russian economy.

But so far, these actions by the West have not only achieved little effect, but have in turn exposed the "Achilles' heel" of the West's dependence on Russian energy.

　　Torsten Brenner, director of the German Institute for Global Public Policy, believes that Western countries need to convince countries that are critical of sanctions to take into account their concerns about issues such as rising energy prices.

　　The report also said that at the NATO summit in Madrid, Western leaders will also try to show a "solidarity against Russia" gesture.

The meeting will discuss the issue of military aid to Ukraine.

But Turkey, which is opposed to NATO's admission of Finland and Sweden, will undermine the "solidarity show".

Germany is already trying to lower expectations for the meeting.

"Even if we need to extend an agreement for a few more weeks, it would not be a disaster," German officials said.
