The Council of Ministers determined that Bulgaria will work with the Group of Seven (G-7) to strengthen Ukraine's long-term security.
On July 12, 2023, the NATO Summit in Vilnius released a joint statement in support of Ukraine. It was represented by the G-7 nations—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States—as well as the presidents of the European Council and the European Commission. Other European nations later joined this movement.
