The Trump administration is resisting the inclusion of the term “Russian aggression” in a planned G7 statement marking the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This position has raised concerns among Western officials about U.S. commitment to supporting Kyiv.
The administration’s shift in tone has drawn criticism from European leaders, who argue that Russia’s actions in Ukraine constitute an act of aggression. The language used in the G7 statement carries symbolic and strategic importance for Kyiv, as it seeks continued Western support in its war effort against Russia.
