Volodymyr Zelensky takes part in virtual meeting of G7 leaders on May 8 - White House spokeswoman
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will take part in a virtual meeting of G7 leaders, where they will discuss Russia's attack on Ukraine.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki announced this.
"On Sunday morning, the President [Biden] will participate in a G7 virtual leaders meeting chaired by German Chancellor Scholz. The leaders will be joined by President Zelensky of Ukraine. They will discuss the latest developments in Russia’s war against Ukraine, the global impact of Putin’s war, showing support for Ukraine and Ukraine’s future, and demonstrating continued G7 unity and our collective response, including building on our unprecedented sanctions to impose severe costs for Putin’s war," the statement said.
The date of the meeting was chosen not just like that.
"I think it should not be lost — the significance — or on anyone — the significance of when the timeline — when his — when this G7 meeting is happening, which is the day before Russia’s Victory Day, which President Putin has certainly projected his desire to mark that day as a day where he is victorious over Ukraine. Of course, he’s not. While he expected to be marching through the streets of Kyiv, that’s obviously not what is going to happen," Psaki said.
