“The Évian Summit is a crucial event for advocates of Ukraine, given the decline in military and financial support by the United States, the inconsistent rhetoric of the Trump administration and the rise of new wars in the Middle East”
leaders’ commitments on Ukraine for those years averaged 79%. From 2021 to 2025, foreign ministers met or issued statements an average of 14 times, and never fewer than 11. Com- pliance with leaders’ commitments from 2021 to 2024 averaged 88%. To improve compliance, G7 leaders should have their foreign ministers continue to meet and issue statements frequently – at least monthly – as this is a relatively inexpensive measure directly under their control. The Évian Summit is a crucial event for advocates of Ukraine, given the decline in military and finan- cial support by the United States, the
inconsistent rhetoric of the Trump administration and the rise of new wars in the Middle East. Yet it is precisely this uncertainty that makes this year’s summit consequential: can G7 members reinvent themselves to consolidate their support for Ukraine? The Évian Summit is a potential turn- ing point. It presents an opportunity for G7 members to articulate a new vision of support for Ukraine – one that breaks the cycle of declining compliance beyond the immediate shock of crisis, moves towards more proactive rather than reactive engagement, and secures a more consistent and unified commit- ment among G7 members.
