G7 summit: background

The latest G7 summit took place in Kananaskis, Canada. A meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump was planned on the sidelines.

However, Trump left the summit early due to the situation in the Middle East.

On Tuesday, June 17, Zelenskyy met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during the summit.

He thanked Canada for the 2 billion Canadian dollars (about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars) provided to Ukraine as part of a new aid package, and for expanding sanctions against Russia.

According to media reports, Zelenskyy left the G7 summit without meeting President Trump.
