At the next two key summits, the G7 and NATO, Western leaders will seek to bring Moscow closer together as the war in Ukraine, which has no end on the horizon, could jeopardize their unity.

The leaders of the great powers, including US President Joe Biden, will meet in the Bavarian Alps for the annual meeting of the world's seven most industrialized nations (G7).

The group consists of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Italy and Germany.

Continued support for Ukraine, four months after the start of the Russian offensive, will be the focus of the meeting, as well as the two-day

NATO

summit starting on June 28 in Madrid.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz, host of the G7 summit, recalled this week that support for Ukraine would require "persistence".

"It is true that we are still far from negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, because Putin still believes in the possibility of a dictated peace," Scholz said, adding that it was therefore even more important to stay on track with sanctions. "Our financial support for Ukraine and the coordinated supply of weapons."

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has warned that the war in Ukraine could last "years".

Stefan Meister of the German research institute DGAP claims that Russian aggression forced G7 members to realize that they needed each other because inflation or the threat of an energy and food crisis as a result of the war would further test community resilience international.

The leaders are also expected to discuss the "Marshall Plan" for the reconstruction of Ukraine, which is said to cost billions and span several generations.
