- Its communiqué will show what Washington backs.

## Summary

At a G7 meeting in Paris, European leaders are seeking to signal that their support for Ukraine will endure, even as trilateral negotiations take place in Abu Dhabi. James Townsend of the Atlantic Council argues that Moscow should not interpret diplomacy as a weakening of Western resolve.

The meeting is also a test of unity among Western allies and of the credibility of future military and financial assistance to Ukraine. Townsend says the final communiqué will show whether the United States is willing to back a shared position, noting that its wording will test what Secretary of State Marco Rubio agrees to endorse.
