Zelenskyy's G7 Meeting Puts Ukraine in Focus Amidst Russia's Disputed Gains.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy met with G7 leaders to discuss the ongoing war with Russia, which claimed a disputed victory in the city of Bakhmut. The G7 announced new sanctions on Russia and pledged military aid worth $375 million to Ukraine. The leaders also addressed global challenges such as climate change, poverty, economic instability, and nuclear proliferation. Biden sought to reassure world leaders that the US would not default on its debt. South Korea and Japan worked to improve ties, and India avoided outright condemnation of Russia's invasion. The G7 urged China to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine and warned North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapon ambitions.
