Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in Saudi Arabia to address an Arab League summit and to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
From there, he heads to Japan for the Group of Seven meeting. “Very important things will be approved” in Hiroshima, “that’s why our president’s attendance is absolutely necessary,” Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said on Ukrainian TV.
Group of Seven countries agreed to work together to track Russian diamonds, but stopped short of slapping Moscow with an outright ban on the lucrative gem trade.
