World leaders have convened at the G7 summit (the annual gathering of the heads of government of seven major advanced economies) in France to address two pressing global crises: Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine and instability across the Middle East. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is participating in the talks as Moscow launched a fresh wave of drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, killing at least 11 people, while U.S. President Donald Trump — who says he has spoken with both Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin — expressed a renewed push to end the four-year conflict. Regional leaders from Egypt, Qatar, and the UAE are also attending to discuss Middle Eastern security, including efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, days after Trump announced a breakthrough agreement to resolve tensions with Iran.
