Volodymyr Zelenskiy met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit, as the Ukrainian president uses his visit to Japan to speak with leaders of countries who have taken a more neutral stance over Russia’s invasion.
Zelenskiy made the nearly 9,000 km (5,600 mile) journey to Hiroshima Saturday on a French military jet from Saudi Arabia. While he’s joining the G-7 summit, he’s more eager to see other invited leaders who hail from what is often called the Global South.
