## Ukraine War Live Ticker: +++ 02:25 G7 Agrees on Details of Ukraine Aid Package +++ **[Berlin, Germany] –** The Group of Seven (G7) has reached an agreement on the details of a "massive financial aid package" for Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced. Speaking at a press conference following the G7 summit in Elmau, Scholz said the package would include "grants, loans, and guarantees" and would be "tailored to the specific needs of Ukraine." The G7 is made up of the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Canada. The group has been providing financial and military support to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February. The newly agreed-upon aid package is intended to help Ukraine repair its infrastructure, support its economy, and meet its humanitarian needs. Scholz said the package would be "disbursed as quickly as possible." The G7 also announced that it would continue to provide military support to Ukraine. "We will continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to defend itself," Scholz said. "We will also continue to provide training to Ukrainian soldiers." The G7's commitment to supporting Ukraine comes as the war continues to take a heavy toll on the country. The United Nations estimates that over 10 million people have been displaced within Ukraine, and over 5 million have fled to neighboring countries. The war has also caused significant damage to Ukraine's infrastructure. The United Nations Development Program estimates that the war has caused over $100 billion in damage to Ukraine's economy. The G7's aid package is intended to help Ukraine rebuild its infrastructure, support its economy, and meet its humanitarian needs. The package is also intended to send a message of support to Ukraine and to deter Russia from further aggression.
