The G7 has demonstrated strong support for Ukraine through a series of steps, including a bilateral security agreement, an agreement to transfer $50 billion in value from Russian assets to Ukraine, and efforts to disrupt third countries supplying Russia's war efforts. These actions are seen as crucial support for Ukraine's NATO membership aspirations. In response, Russia has reacted with threats, vague statements, and criticism toward the US, particularly regarding the provision of weapons to the Azov Battalion. Despite concerns about the Azov Battalion's ties to neo-Nazism, the US has approved the use of weapons for the group. Moscow's response also included military posturing by sending naval vessels near Florida's coast.
