The move comes one day before the three prime ministers are due to meet in Tallinn, Estonia. In Thursday's joint statement, the Baltic trio promise to "keep supporting Ukraine until victory" and that "only NATO membership" will provide Ukraine with the security guarantees it needs in future.
The G7 declaration was released in July and its full text is available here.
