## Resource

The G7 summit pivoted sharply toward Middle East tensions, especially Iran, sidelining Ukraine’s crisis — despite a deadly Russian assault and Zelenskyy’s brief appearance. Trump’s claimed Iran ceasefire and Hormuz reopening drew applause but diverted focus. Yet, G7 nations still united on tougher Russian sanctions and more air defense for Ukraine. Amid U.S. aid cuts, Europe stepped up — and Ukraine formally launched EU membership talks, signaling resilience despite shifting global priorities.
