Artillery, armored vehicles, air combat, intelligence sharing and reconstruction and recovery, so long-term military and economic commitments. on top of that, a lot of new military hardware. france agreeing to send long range cruise missiles, similar to the ones that the uk has already been supplying, and ukraine has been using in the battlefield, just if the past couple of weeks. weve seen evidence of that. and germany saying that they will commit to providing more tanks, armored vehicles, patr...

. >> when you see the commitments made, the ongoing number of countries who are willing to buy in, president biden has used the russian invasion to rally nato, and notably, others -- i guess we would say notably former president trump thought this was an organization that was outdated. now its expanding, seems to have this renewed focus. what do you think that means for president bidens agenda especially when it comes to republicans in congress who have been skeptical about this? >> you know, ch...

New tanks, weapons, a training program for fighter pilots, a coalition of countries will lead that. what impact do you expect this to have on the war in ukraine, and to what extent would that mitigate what was clearly a disappointment for zelenskyy with the nato membership? >> well, the good thing about meetings like this is that leaders need to bring commitments to them, and now its all about the implementation, getting them to deliver the weapons they pledged, including the united states so th...

Not getting firmer commitments on when ukraine could join fay toe. people are a little bit confused about that language saying when conditions are met, an invitation would be extended for ukraine to join nato. of course people understand here that it will not happen while the war is ongoing. but they wanted a firmer date farther down the line. im not just talking about politicians, im talking about average people as well. theres a huge amount of interest this this summit just among the general p...

Its actually we are using this -- making this -- taking this effort while ukraine is working towards -- its a very important document. its a great basis of all g-7 agreeing on that together with ukraine, and now we will work actively on a bilateral basis with our friends and colleagues putting it into a bilateral format. look forward to working with my counterparts on this. i think also as president zelenskyy said, you also see this commitments already on the battlefield. their support, the secu...

We also know that with our battle tested army, with our love to freedom and values, there is a lot we can offer to nato. i think it was a great family type of discussion between all the nato members and hopefully that moment when the allies will agree and conditions are met, will be sooner rather than later. >> the u.s. ambassador and the g-7 nations for that matter, they are promising security commitments to ukraine, are you clear, ambassador, on what those commitments will look like? z >> well...

We needed to lay out a path for ukraine on how they will eventually get nato membership. and thats what theyre going to have to talk about now. and there are some things that nato will announce, there are some things that nato willannounce, including making will announce, including making ukraine willannounce, including making ukraine part of a nato—ukraine council, which gives them a louder voice at nato. but most importantly, though, is a matter of military assistance going to ukraine at a h...
