"Putin's Isolation on World Stage Captured in G7 Summit Photo"

Photos from the G7 summit in Japan show the level of isolation Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing on the global stage. Putin was notably absent when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posed with other world leaders. Russia was suspended from the group in 2014 following its invasion of Ukraine’s Crimea region. Since the beginning of Russia’s war on Ukraine in February 2022, Putin has remained in near-total isolation in Russia. G7 leaders reaffirmed their commitment to stand together against Russia's illegal, unjustifiable, and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine.
