Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that most of the G7 summit would be devoted to Ukraine's defense and economic stability. 

According to him, the main topics for Ukraine are the development of a coalition of fighter jets, resolving the issue of pilot training and accelerated delivery of aircraft, as well as the development of the Ukrainian air defense based on Western systems and the build-up of long-range capabilities.

In addition, it is important for Ukraine to approve the format of using Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine, in particular for the development of the defense industry and joint weapons production.

During the summit, Ukraine will also sign bilateral security agreements with Japan and the United States.

"The document with the United States will be unprecedented, as expected from leaders who support Ukraine," Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
