Zelenskiy to seek G7 support as Trump's early exit puts dampener on summit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will on Tuesday urge the Group of Seven to provide more backing for the war against Russia even after U.S. President Donald Trump left the summit early due to developments in the Middle East.



Zelenskiy is due to meet Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the morning before attending a G7 working breakfast on "A strong and sovereign Ukraine", accompanied by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.



The Ukrainian embassy in Canada said Zelenskiy's travel plans had not changed.



Trump said on Monday he needed to be back in Washington as soon as possible due to the situation in the Middle East, where the escalating attacks between Iran and Israel have raised risks of a broader regional conflict.
