Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to join world leaders at the G7 summit in Evian, France, on Tuesday. The ongoing war in Ukraine is expected to dominate discussions among the heads of state.

Zelensky arrived in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday evening and will travel to Evian for a working session focused on peace and security for Ukraine and Europe. He has expressed a desire for a private meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, their last encounter being in December at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

The summit, which began on Monday with the arrival of U.S. President Donald Trump following an announcement of an agreement between the United States and Iran concerning the Middle East conflict, will also address the situation in the Middle East. Leaders from Germany, Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom will convene for a working lunch on the region's crises. Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, who have mediated between Washington and Tehran, have been invited to attend.
