Biden and Zelenskyy Discuss Situation in Ukraine at G7 Summit, Offer New Aid to Ukraine

At the G7 Summit in Japan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with US President Joe Biden to discuss the situation in Ukraine. The two leaders discussed the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which has been ongoing since 2014.

The focus of the discussion was the city of Bakhmut, which has been the site of a months-long battle between Ukrainian and Russian forces. Russian forces have claimed full control of the city, but Zelenskyy has cast doubt on this claim.

When asked about the status of the city, Zelenskyy said that Bakhmut is not currently occupied by Russian forces. He also said that Ukraine is not throwing people away to die, and that they are doing everything possible to protect their citizens.

Biden also offered new aid to Ukraine during the meeting, in order to help the country in its fight against Russia. This aid will likely include economic and military assistance, as well as diplomatic support.

The situation in Bakhmut is still uncertain, and it remains to be seen how the conflict between Ukraine and Russia will play out. However, the meeting between Biden and Zelenskyy is a positive step towards resolving the conflict and ensuring the safety of the people of Ukraine.
