On Thursday, before departing for Italy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a statement, “I look forward to meeting fellow world leaders and discussing a wide range of issues aimed at making our planet better and improving lives of people.”

The Group of Seven (G7) summit began on Thursday, June 13, with the US announcing a monetary aid package of USD 50 billion to Ukraine, using frozen Russian assets as collateral. This recent support reflects the US government's ongoing commitment to assisting Ukraine in its defense against Russia's invasion.
