Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to join the G7 summit in Hiroshima in person as Rishi Sunak and allies seek to increase pressure on Russia.

The Ukrainian President will attend the summit in Japan on Sunday, it is understood, as the Prime Minister warned Vladimir Putin "we’re not going away".

It would potentially bring Mr Zelensky into contact with India’s Narendra Modi and Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who have not opposed the invasion to the extent that western allies would like.

The expected trip to Hiroshima will come just days after Mr Zelensky completed a whistlestop tour of western Europe as he sought to bolster support for Kyiv ahead of a widely expected counter-offensive against the Russian invasion.
