The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has assured that the power of democracies in the world “is growing” after the meeting of G7 leaders.

“Together with all our allies and partners we have achieved such a level of cooperation that will ensure that democracy, international law and freedom are respected. (…) Our power is growing. Anyone who wishes to wage aggression against a democratic country will see what will be the answer. And the more we all work together, the less likely it is that someone else in the world will follow Russia’s crazy path. But is this enough?” Zelensky wrote on his Twitter account.

The Ukrainian president has insisted that democracy “needs more”, and that his country will cooperate so that the global leadership is in charge of the democrats.

For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron has declared that he will remain “extremely cautious” and that “it will be up to the Ukrainians” to comment on the conquest of Bakhmut (Ukraine) by Russian forces, a fact that the Ukrainian authorities deny. .

The French president has stated that the meeting has been a “good opportunity” to talk about the war in Ukraine with the leaders of Brazil and India, especially with the latter country as it is one of the main buyers of Russian oil, which provides funds at a time when the G7 seeks to cut them, as reported by Bloomberg.

Regarding the F-16 fighters, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has stated that, despite the announcement that the US would train Ukrainian pilots, the decision on sending these fighters “will come much later.”

In addition, he has assured that, although Brazil and India have been neutral in the conflict, they are fully aware that Russia is the aggressor.
