Zelenskyy's plea for Ukraine's future at G7 summit overshadowed by Russia's accusations.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's visit to Hiroshima during the G7 summit carried a sense of urgency as he toured the site where an American atomic bomb put an end to the Second World War in 1945. Zelenskyy hoped to introduce Ukraine to some of the G7's less convinced counterparts from the Global South, and engaged with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who pledged to do "everything we can" to help end the conflict in Ukraine. However, Brazil's socialist president, Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva, refused to meet Zelenskyy, reportedly feeling "trapped" by Tokyo's unannounced decision to invite him to the same event.
