The current G7 Summit is held in Borgo Egnazia (Fasano) in Apulia and runs from June 13-15, 2024. It is a political nightmare. FPM focus is on events not baggage.

Opening day features in session 1 include a discussion on Africa, climate change
and development followed by a short break then a one hour 15 minutes discussion on the Middle East over lunch.

The group is the same as last year, but this will be this ‘G7 family’s’ last year together as the G7 as each of six are in serious political trouble at home according to polling data.

In the video below is the first of a second batch of Canadian light armoured vehicles sent to Ukraine. The first batch was 39 ACSV Lav 6 vehicles.

“In January 2023 the first ACSV s were seen in Donbass at the front line by our RINJ humanitarian workers,” explained Alona Adamovich who leads the 800-person RINJ Foundation women’s care humanitarian effort in Ukraine, growing since 2012 when a RINJ Foundation’s volunteer was raped and killed by family members of the then ruling class. On 8 March 2012, in the city of Mykolaiv, Oksana Makar, who was 18 years old at the time, suffered an attack by three men: she was raped, strangled, set on fire, and abandoned to die. RIP Oksana.

“These LAV 6 units are robust and the survivability rate is very high, even in Ukraine,” said a former Canadian Army Lt. Colonel who in his career has operated all the Bison ACSV units since series 2. “This unit served us well in Afghanistan,” said the Lt. Colonel.

Canada’s Minister of Defence, former Toronto police chief Bill Blair will visit Brussels, Belgium from June 13 to 14 where his office says he will meet with Allies and partners to strengthen international support for Ukraine.

“I’m enroute to Brussels, Belgium, where I’ll attend the 23rd meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group [which was opened an hour ago by U.S. Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin a person accused of complicity in the Gaza  Genocide before the Internatinal Criminal Court] – and a meeting of NATO Defence Ministers,” said Minister Blair in a social media post.

First of 50 in a new series of ACSV for Ukraine.

Canada is set to contribute $5 billion to a new initiative aimed at assisting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, coinciding with the G7 summit in Italy, a government official has stated according to the CBC.

Canada also plans to send CRV7 air-to-ground 2.75″ rockets decommissioned in the early 2000s [they have no warheads] to Ukraine as first reported by Tass 4 months ago, along with other military equipment, including 29 Nanuk remote weapon stations which are light and medium calibre weapons which can be installed on any type of armoured vehicles, and more than 130,000 rounds of small arms ammunition according to Defence Minister Blair’s departmental statement.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other leaders are finalizing a new deal to use frozen Russian assets to help acting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, following Russia’s significant gains in the American proxy war in Ukraine.
