8:30am: G7 diplomats gather in Japan to discuss Ukraine crisis
Top diplomats from the Europe and North America were arriving for the G7 meeting in Japan to discuss the world’s most intractable crises, including ways to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Amid widespread skepticism that the UN, which is often paralysed by the oversized power on the Security Council of Russia and China, can do anything about these issues, many will be watching to see what, if anything, G7 ministers from Japan, the US, UK, France, Germany, Canada, Italy and the EU might do.Â
The three-day talks will also see the first real test of the Biden administration’s assertion that there has been minimal damage from the disclosure of highly classified documents related to the war in Ukraine and US views of its allies and partners.
