Macron: G7 Summit an Opportunity to Persuade India and Brazil on Ukraine

French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the "G7 summit in Japan is an opportunity to persuade large emerging countries like India and Brazil to stand by Ukraine." He emphasized the need to avoid divisions between the G7 and those countries, noting that "the summit in Hiroshima is a summit of unity, especially regarding Ukraine." He considered it aimed at building a framework for peace based on international law, which should be a lasting peace and not just a ceasefire that would lead to a frozen conflict. The French president described Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's participation in the Arab summit in Saudi Arabia as a "real turning point."
