A lot happened in the 24 hours since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended the G-7 summit this weekend.

In a rare and brief trip, Zelenskyy arrived in Hiroshima, Japan, on Saturday to talk to world leaders about progress in Ukraine and rekindle support from allies.

The meeting came at a crucial time as Russia recently claimed victory over the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, where some of the deadliest fighting has taken place, and Ukrainian officials say they need more weapons to retake the captured land. Ukraine says its forces are still fighting and have not conceded.

The G-7 summit is an annual gathering of the world’s richest and largest democracies, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the US to address the most pressing international issues and coordinate global policy.

Zelenskyy says that the city of Bakhmut has been completely destroyed

Zelenskyy’s appearance on Sunday came less than a day after Russian forces claimed victory over Bakhmut, a town in eastern Ukraine that has been under attack for 10 months. It is considered the longest and bloodiest battle in the war so far.

When asked if Russia’s claims are true, Zelenskyy said that Bakhmut was completely destroyed and there was practically nothing to occupy. He later compared it to the aftermath in Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945.

“You have to understand that there is nothing, they destroyed everything,” Zelenskyy told the G-7 leaders. “Because today Bakhmut is only in our hearts.”

However, he stressed that Ukrainian forces are still fighting in the city and have not accepted despite what the Russians have said.

The US supports Ukraine’s long-standing demand for F-16 jets

One of Zelenskyy’s main goals for attending the G-7 summit was to secure more military aid for his country.

Ukraine has already received billions from Western allies. The US alone has contributed about $37 billion to the conflict.

On Sunday, US President Joe Biden pledged an additional $375 million in weapons, including ammunition and armored vehicles.

Biden also came out in support of training Ukrainian pilots in US-made F-16 fighter jets, giving the country the green light to send those fighters to Ukraine. The president said Zelenskyy assured him that Ukraine would not use the planes to strike targets inside Russia.

Ukrainian defense officials have called the plane a game changer, and it has been on the country’s wish list since the start of the Russian occupation. The new aid comes as Ukraine prepares to launch counter-offensives to retake occupied land.

Zelenskyy tried to win over the Indian president

The G-7 was an opportunity for Zelenskyy to reach out to world leaders who have been reluctant to denounce Russia, such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

India has been one of the few countries to strengthen its ties with Russia amid the war in Ukraine.

Not only has Modi refused to condemn the invasion, but he has bought Russian oil and gas, undermining efforts by Western democracies to damage Russia’s economy through economic sanctions.

This weekend, Zelenskyy tried to win over Modi. While the Indian prime minister promised to do all he could to end the war, his stance on the conflict appeared the same.

However, Zelenskyy said he is determined to win the support of Modi and the leaders of other countries who have not come out openly in support of Ukraine.
