Zelenskyy heads to G-7 summit as Russia faces sanctions and Ukraine conflict continues.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will attend the G-7 summit in Japan to make the case for continued support from the United States and its allies in the face of Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. The G-7 leaders have agreed on new sanctions to restrict exports to Russia that support its war machine. Zelenskyy has asked for advanced F-16 fighter jets to help repel Russian forces, but the Biden administration has declined to provide them out of concern for escalating the war. The summit's location in Hiroshima is symbolic of the mortal threat that Ukraine and other Asian countries face from nuclear-armed nations.
