Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joined world leaders at the Group of Seven summit of major industrialized nations to discuss ending the war in Ukraine after more than four years of conflict sparked by Russia’s full-scale invasion.
G7 Summit Talks
Zelenskyy was welcomed by French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of a morning working session with G7 leaders to discuss the war. The Ukraine talks come on the heels of President Donald Trump’s announcement of an agreement to end the U.S. war against Iran.
Trump said he had good conversations on Sunday with both Zelenskyy and Putin. The G7 leaders, representing Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan, were huddled in conversation with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen before the start of the first session on Ukraine.
Ukraine and Middle East Discussions
Tuesday’s discussions also include a work session focused on “ending crises and ensuring stability in the Middle East.” Leaders of Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates are to join the talks. The tone in Evian is expected to be measured, as U.S. allies seek rapid progress that could ease the economic impact of rising oil prices caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
