Volodymyr Zelenskyy 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.
Zelenskyy made the nearly 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.
The Ukrainian leader’s meeting with Modi was their first in-person conversation since the war broke out in February 2022. That’s as India steps up purchases of Russian energy and continues to seek weapons from Moscow.
