Ukraine is gaining the upper hand against Russia, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council António Costa told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the G7 summit in Évian, France.
"The tide is turning for Ukraine," von der Leyen and Costa said at the end of the talks.
Earlier on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump, whose policy on Ukraine has often frustrated allies, said that his administration would "soon" be able to reimpose sanctions on Russia after having eased them in response to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
"We'll be able to do that because the oil is now flowing," Trump said in response to a journalist. "We took sanctions off because obviously we're not looking to impede the oil (flows), so we are in a position to do that soon."
Here's how the day unfolded.
