Zelensky: Ukraine Needs Help on the Russian Federation Issue

The international community must not allow Russia returning to the G7, the Ukrainian leader emphasized. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the international community should exert pressure on Russian Federation and prevent it returning to the G7 until the territorial integrity of Ukraine is restored. The Ukrainian leader stated in an interview with the Canadian The Globe and Mail, published on June 21. Zelensky noted that the issue of finding peace with Russia is "the most difficult and confusing", so Ukraine needs its international allies to stay firmly in the negotiations. The head of state thanked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for not supporting the US President Donald Trump desire to again accept Russia into the G7. "Justin Trudeau stated on June 1 that Russia has no chance to return to G7 until the territorial integrity of Ukraine is fully restored and we are grateful for this support. And I must say that there will be no solution if the world does not put pressure on Russia in this issue, "Zelensky emphasized. Recall that at the end of May it became known that Trump postponed the G7 summit to September and plans to invite Russia, South Korea, Australia and India to it. The decision of the American leader caused a negative reaction of Ukraine, the EU and Britain.
