G7 leaders meeting in France agreed to increase pressure on Russia, a French diplomat said.
Speaking to Reuters, the official said the countries said the pressure should come through sanctions on the country's oil and gas.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky added that sanctions on the banking and military sectors were also discussed.
He also met with U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming he was positive that the U.S. can give more air defense missiles to the country.
The two heads of State met during the summit, with Zelensky claiming that all G7 leaders agreed that Russia is not winning the war and has to make a deal to end it as soon as possible.
After the session, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a social media post that the "tide is turning for Ukraine."
"The situation in 2026 is very different from 2025. Ukraine is bravely holding the frontline. Russia's fatigue is openly showing. That's the time to double down on our support," she added.
Ukraine is also set to ask allies for tens of billions to build on recent gains against Russia, according to a new report.
A senior Ukrainian official told Politico that the country will ask as much as $20 billion at the next meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which will take place on June 18.
"Everyone sees that Russia is burning, and we want it to burn even more, but we need financing to do it," the official told the outlet.
The official went on to say allies will be asked between $2 billion and $6 billion to reach the target, which can be in the form of "aid or a loan." It would be an increase on top of the current budget, which currently stands at some 85 billion euros. The country spends about 40% of its GDP on defense.
The country is seeking to use the funds to build on recent progress. Earlier this month, Ukraine's top military commander said that the country's forces have recaptured more than 600 square kilometers of territory from Russian troops so far in 2026.
In contrast, another report claimed that Russia's long-standing strategy of leveraging its larger population and industrial capacity to outlast Ukraine may be facing new challenges as recruitment rates decline despite increasingly generous financial incentives for military service.
Across Russia, military recruitment advertisements promise signing bonuses worth millions of rubles, debt forgiveness equivalent to as much as $140,000, and fast-tracked citizenship for foreigners willing to join the armed forces. In some regions, enlistment incentives can exceed $80,000, more than four times the country's average annual salary.
Yet, those incentives appear to be losing their appeal. According to Russian economy expert Janis Kluge, military recruitment fell by roughly 20% during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period a year earlier. Analysts cited by CNN say Moscow is increasingly struggling to replace troops lost on the battlefield.
