EVIAN-LES-BAINS: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky joined world leaders at the Group of Seven summit of major industrialized nations Tuesday for talks on ending the war in Ukraine after more than four years of conflict sparked by Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Zelensky 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 US President Donald Trump’s announcement of an agreement to end the 3 1/2-month-old US war against Iran. Trump said he had good conversations on Sunday with both Zelensky and Putin.
“Now that this (Iran) is finished, we’re going to be focusing on that,” he said at the G7 summit.
Five of the seven 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. Trump was missing. Macron, too, hadn’t arrived yet because he was with Zelensky.
