VILNIUS, Lithuania—President Joe Biden met with Group of Seven (G7) leaders on July 12 at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit to offer security assistance for Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also joined the meeting, during which the G7 leaders issued a “Joint Declaration of Support for Ukraine.”

This joint declaration will “make it clear that our support will last long into the future,” Mr. Biden announced after the conclusion of the meeting.

“We’re going to help Ukraine build a strong capable defense, across land, air, and sea,” he added, noting that this step will ensure regional stability and avert all threats.

“I think it’s a powerful statement, a powerful statement of our commitment to Ukraine, as it defends its freedom today and as it rebuilds the future and we’re going to be there as long as that takes,” Biden concluded.

Before the summit, the White House indicated that Ukraine could receive “Israel-style” security guarantees in its fight against Russia.

That means the United States would “provide various forms of military assistance, intelligence and information sharing, cyber support, and other forms of material support so that Ukraine can both defend itself and deter future aggression,” Mr. Sullivan briefed reporters on July 9.

As part of this declaration, Biden explained that each country will individually negotiate long-term bilateral security arrangements with Ukraine.

“Ukrainian delegation is bringing home significant security victory for the Ukraine, for our country, for our people, for our children,” Zelenskyy said after the event.

Biden later met with Zelenskky in a bilateral discussion, during which he said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is straight out of the 14th century and praised his courage and resilience.

Biden acknowledged Zelenskyy’s frustration with the slow pace of U.S. assistance.

“But I promise you,” Biden said, “The United States is doing everything we can to get you what you need as rapidly as we can.”

Ukraine’s Path to NATO Membership

The announcement of security guarantees came after Zelenskyy expressed frustration about the NATO communiqué released on July 11 that failed to provide a timeline for Ukraine’s accession to the military alliance.
