Watch as Nato representatives give closing speeches as the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania draws to a close on Wednesday 12 July.

At the high-profile meeting, the UK, US, Japan, Canada, France, Germany and Italy signed a pact committing to new measures to help Ukraine in its war with Russia.

G7 countries have agreed to stand by Kyiv for “as long as it takes” as they set out the details of what a package of new security measures will entail.

The leaders of the wealthiest economies jointly penned a security accord that Rishi Sunak has said marks a “new high point” in international support for Ukraine.

He thinks it will send a message to Russian president Vladimir Putin and has the potential to bring an end to the conflict in eastern Europe.

The pact contains promises to act multilaterally and on a country-to-country basis to offer Ukraine long-term security guarantees.
