G7 leaders closed the Évian summit on Wednesday with an explicit commitment to increase deliveries of anti-aircraft systems and long-range missiles to Ukraine, and to tighten sanctions against Russian oil and gas sectors. The declaration reflects the view that conditions are now favorable for pressing Moscow on its primary fiscal lever.

According to [Euronews](https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/06/17/g7-leaders-agree-to-increase-weapons-deliveries-for-ukraine-step-up-pressure-on-russian-ec), heads of state adopted a joint declaration on the final day of the 52nd G7 backing military and energy support for Kyiv as the bloc seeks a new balance against the Kremlin. The [Élysée communiqué](https://www.elysee.fr/en/G7evian/2026/06/17/g7-leaders-statement-on-geopolitical-issues) confirms licenses to scale up bilateral military production, reinforcement of Ukrainian energy resilience, and an intensification of measures against Russian hydrocarbon exports. President Donald Trump signaled that Washington could reimpose suspended oil sanctions, linking the tightening to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following the deal with Iran.

The European Union has mobilized approximately 200 billion euros in combined military and financial support since 2022, while the United States has contributed around 115 billion euros, according to figures shared with the press by the French presidency. Added to this is a new European loan of 90 billion euros disbursed starting this month. The package contemplates evaluating the manufacture of Patriot interceptors under license on Ukrainian territory, preparing the electricity grid against a potential Russian winter offensive, and coordinating joint purchases of liquefied natural gas to reinforce European supply. France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and the United States also signed commitments on cybersecurity and economic intelligence.

The signal for Latin America is direct: the Western bloc is preparing to squeeze Russian oil supply just as Hormuz flows again, a scenario that redraws prices and routes in July and August. The French presidency hands over to the Italian G7 in 2027 with energy and anti-war coordination already underway.
