Four takeaways from Biden's trip to the G7 - CNN

But Russian strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine -- including residential buildings and a shopping mall -- sent a clear message to the summit: Russian President Vladimir Putin is not backing down.

Here are four takeaways from Biden's first major summit of his latest international trip:

A new desired timeline for the end of the Ukraine war

The war in Ukraine has brought Western leaders together in condemning Russia and applying punishing sanctions.

Leaders committed to new security assistance for Ukraine, including a new missile defense system from the United States, the same model used to defend the airspace in Washington, DC.

At the G7 this week, leaders slapped on new measures, including a ban on importing new Russian gold.

At the same time, the sanctions have inflicted pain on Americans through higher gas prices, an effect of global bans on importing Russian energy.

Targeting Russian energy has been a point of contention since the start of the war.

Officials said they were confident Western nations wield enough leverage through their transportation and distribution networks to enforce the caps.

Leaders appear to stay united on response to war, for now

How and when to engage Putin had divided some of the G7 leaders, who have sometimes aired differences of opinion on whether the time is right to pursue a negotiated settlement or to push ahead for a decisive victory on the battlefield.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson entered the talks this week vowing to rally the leaders behind a plan to help Zelensky sustain the fight.

European Union Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said that "many voices" at the G7 summit were left "very sad and very worried" by the decision.

"We have discussed gender equality and indeed, there were many voices, very sad and very worried," von der Leyen said when asked by CNN's Christiane Amanpour about the Supreme Court decision.

Johnson, in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, called the ruling a "backward step."

Biden has decried the decision and vowed to explore ways to protect access to abortion.
