Ukraine’s Zelensky arrives in Hiroshima for G-7 summit as leaders sanction Russia

LA Times  

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, left, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky meet at the Grand Prince Hotel during the Group of 7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, on Saturday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived Saturday in Japan for talks with the leaders of the world’s most powerful democracies, a personal appearance meant to galvanize global attention as the nations ratcheted up pressure on Moscow for its 15-month invasion of Ukraine. Zelensky’s in-person visit to the Group of 7 summit comes just hours after the United States agreed to allow training on potent American-made fighter jets, laying the groundwork for their eventual transfer to Ukraine. The G-7 on Saturday said it did not want to harm China and was seeking “constructive and stable relations” with Beijing, “recognizing the importance of engaging candidly with and expressing our concerns directly to China.” It also urged China to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine and “support a comprehensive, just and lasting peace.” North Korea, which has been testing missiles at a torrid pace, must completely abandon its nuclear bomb ambitions, “including any further nuclear tests or launches that use ballistic missile technology,” the leaders’ statement said. The G-7 leaders have rolled out a new wave of global sanctions on Moscow as well as plans to enhance the effectiveness of existing financial penalties meant to constrain President Vladimir Putin’s war effort.
