Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky joins G7 leaders in France for talks focused on pressing Russia to end its war against Ukraine. Multiple outlets report that European leaders use the meeting to urge U.S. President Donald Trump to break what they describe as a deadlock on Ukraine, including by increasing support for Kyiv and tightening or maintaining sanctions aimed at Moscow. Zelensky is also reported to propose direct diplomacy, including an idea for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the summit, though Moscow has not shown public engagement with the proposal. Sources also connect the G7 discussions to broader international developments, especially the Middle East. Several reports note that Trump is simultaneously associated with moves toward ending the conflict involving Iran, and the G7’s agenda includes efforts to address West Asia alongside Ukraine. By the end of the summit period described in the coverage, outlets say leaders are signaling a sense of renewed unity and/or possible changes in U.S. posture toward Russia. Overall, the reporting depicts the G7 summit as an attempt to align U.S. and European positions on Ukraine while navigating parallel diplomacy on the Middle East.
