Rumor has it that the President of Ukraine will go to Japan to attend the G7 summit

Bloomberg and the Financial Times , citing sources familiar with the plan, said President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to the Japanese city of Hiroshima to meet directly with G7 leaders. Reuters quoted a source from the European Union (EU) as also revealing this information.

Ukraine did not immediately comment on the reports.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is rumored to visit Hiroshima on May 21.

Earlier, the Japanese government announced that President Zelensky would attend the conference via video conference, at the invitation of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida when he visited Kyiv on March 21.

The surprise and unannounced presence was intended to reinforce Western resolve to support Ukraine, and to draw closer non-G7 members who also attended the meeting, including India and Brazil, according to the Financial Times .

G7 summit expected to focus on Russia, China

President Zelensky has not visited Asia since the conflict began in February 2022. Last week, he traveled to Italy, Germany, France and the UK to appeal for more arms supplies.

G7 leaders (UK, Canada, Germany, US, Japan, France and Italy) are expected to discuss how to respond to Russia's military campaign at meetings from May 19. In addition, the Financial Times said the leaders are expected to discuss holding a " peace summit" this summer to consider Ukraine's proposal to end the conflict, instead of China's proposal.

Ukraine’s 10-point plan includes a provision that calls for Russia to withdraw all its forces and restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity. China’s proposal reportedly does not call for a full Russian withdrawal before peace talks begin.
