Zelenskyy to attend G7 summit Sunday as world leaders discuss new punishment for Russia over Ukraine

Leaders of the world’s most powerful democracies vowed Friday to tighten punishments on Russia for its 15-month invasion of Ukraine, days before President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joins the Group of Seven summit in person on Sunday.

“Our support for Ukraine will not waver,” the G7 leaders said in a statement released after closed-door meetings, vowing “to stand together against Russia’s illegal, unjustifiable, and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine.”

“Russia started this war and can end this war,” they said.

Zelenskyy will be making his furthest trip from his war-torn country as leaders prepare to unveil new sanctions on Russia for its invasion. Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, confirmed on national television that Zelenskyy would attend the summit.

“We were sure that our president would be where Ukraine needed him, in any part of the world, to solve the issue of stability of our country,” Danilov said Friday. “There will be very important matters decided there, so physical presence is a crucial thing to defend our interests.”

Patriotic Americans should be suspicious of people being called “world” leaders.

So will he wear a suit. This really angers me...because it is being respectful. I do not like him....not even a little bit.

If it’s as effective as the last punishment for Russia, they will soon be starving in the streets — of Germany and the UK.

I expect there will be PR photo-op of Zelenskyy standing shoulder to shoulder with the G7 leaders as they pledge to do “whatever it takes” to bleed Russia dry and force their unconditional surrender.

I need to remember to check back Monday morning.

It should be classic.

Umm the correct version was painted without Jesus. Its was always just Mary and no one else. The fake one had a void where Jesus was supposed to be painted

U cant understand the difference?

Because it's covered by combat damage to that plate. The Ukrainian soldier who wore it probably died wearing it on the battlefield.

I expect they’ll all be pressuring India to ‘donate’ to Zelensky’s cause.
