  G7 leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump have backed a joint declaration promising to boost military support to Ukraine and to strengthen sanctions against Russia.

"We, the Leaders of the G7, stand united in our unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity," they said in a declaration published on Wednesday shortly after midnight.

G7 leaders "commit to increase the pressure on the Russian war economy" and to "strengthen our sanctions, including those on the oil and gas sectors," they said.

The declaration name-checks Trump three times, saying that with the U.S. and Iran having reached an agreement to end hostilities, it is now easier to take more economic measures against Russia.
