Mr. Zelensky participates face-to-face at the summit Solidarity appeals from the atomic bombed city of Hiroshima - news reports

Several Western media outlets reported on April 19 that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will appear at the G7 summit in Hiroshima, where he will attend a debate on April 21. Reuters reported that Zelensky will arrive in Hiroshima on the 21st.

　On April 18, the summit's secretariat announced online that Mr. Zelensky would attend the meeting on April 21. As Russia, which has invaded Ukraine, continues to threaten to use nuclear weapons, Mr. Zelensky's visit to Hiroshima, the site of the atomic bombing, and his attendance at the summit would provide a symbolic opportunity to strongly discourage Russia and show the solidarity of the international community.
