The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven industrialized nations are set to hold an online meeting on Thursday to discuss how to deal with Russia's prolonged aggression against Ukraine, the Japanese government said.

The G-7 talks will come a day after U.S. President Joe Biden met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington and announced new military assistance for the Eastern European country, including provision of the Patriot air defense system.

The foreign ministers from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, plus the European Union, are expected to share views about the latest situation in Ukraine, according to the Foreign Ministry.

The top diplomats are also likely to confirm their collaboration on support for the nation, which was invaded by Russia in late February, the ministry said.

Zelenskyy's visit to the United States was his first overseas trip since Russia launched its aggression.

The Ukrainian president said the Patriot system was needed to defend his country against Russian missile attacks that have damaged critical infrastructure, such as the energy grid.

Last month, the G-7 foreign ministers pledged to "continue to impose economic costs" on Moscow, while committing to continuous support for Kyiv in a joint statement issued after a two-day gathering in the western German city of Munster.

Japan is due to take over the G-7 presidency from Germany next year.
