President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will take part in discussions on the situation in Ukraine during the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains on June 16, in order to “restore convergence of positions” among the G7 countries in support of Ukraine.

This was stated by French President Emmanuel Macron during a meeting with representatives of civil society at the Élysée Palace, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“On Tuesday morning, we will have a discussion on Ukraine with President Zelensky. This is very important for us, because we need to restore convergence of positions within the G7 in support of Ukraine on various aspects of this war. That means support, negotiations, and commitments,” Macron said.

“First there will be a moment of discussion among the seven leaders to cover major international crisis topics. And on Tuesday morning, we will have a discussion on Ukraine with President Zelensky,” he added.
