The Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers promised on April 19 to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense capabilities to protect civilians and critical infrastructure from Russian attacks.
As Moscow intensified its attacks on Ukraine during the spring, the shortage ofair defense systems in Ukrainian cities and villages is being felt more acutely.
The statement during the G7 meeting on the island of Capri in Italy followed Russian morning attacks on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, which reportedly killed at least eight civilians, including two children, and injuring over 30 other people.
“We express our resolve in particular to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities to save lives and protect critical infrastructure. We will also work with partners towards this end,” the ministers of the U.S., the U.K., Italy, France, Canada, Germany and the High Representative of the European Union said.
