Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to appear at the G7 summit in Italy this June, his spokesman Sergei Nikiforov confirmed. Although it is not yet known whether Zelensky will attend in person or join virtually, his participation is guaranteed, BTA reports.

The G7 meeting, scheduled for June 13-15 in southern Italy, has a busy agenda. A key topic of discussion is the innovative idea of using interest from frozen Russian assets to channel new aid to Ukraine. This is a strategic move to strengthen Ukraine's resources amid ongoing conflicts.

In preparation for a crucial Ukraine-focused summit in Switzerland on June 15 and 16, to which Russia was not invited, Zelensky has been traveling the world. His recent visits spanned several European capitals, reaching Singapore and the Philippines. These trips highlight Ukraine's efforts to provide international support and solidarity in these challenging times.

President Zelensky's expected participation in the G7 summit, whether in person or remotely, underscores Ukraine's proactive position on the international stage.
