Zelenskiy to join G7 leaders virtually

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to join the leaders of the G7 to discuss the situation in Ukraine at an online conference, according to a spokesman for the German government.

The Sunday meeting was taking place on a historic day, the spokesman said, as nations around the world celebrate the end of World War II in Europe and the end of National Socialism on May 8.

The G7 group includes Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the US. Germany currently holds the presidency.

In addition to the crisis in Ukraine, other topics are also likely to be discussed, though no further details – including the exact timing of the meeting – were immediately made available.
