Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed G7 leaders virtually at their summit in Germany as they discussed the threat to global stability posed by Russia’s invasion of his country.
The leaders met in a bright and beautiful meeting room in Schloss Elmau, Germany, a veritable mountaintop castle surrounded by blooming meadows and stunning vistas, on Monday.
Zelenskyy appeared on a small monitor looking down on the group, stone-faced, in front of a grey background.
The conflict has been a running theme through Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s meetings with world leaders in Schloss Elmau, Germany, as well as last week at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Rwanda.
