G7 Summit Sparks International Tensions and Expectations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy drew parallels between the destruction of Bakhmut and Hiroshima at the G7 summit in Japan, thanking the group for providing high-quality weapons. Russia claimed to have captured Bakhmut, but Zelenskyy disputed the claim, saying his forces were holding on and fighting. He refused to provide details on where Ukraine would strike, but said Russia would feel the impact of a counteroffensive.
