Zelensky arrives at G7 as Ukraine wins access to F-16s

PRESIDENT Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Hiroshima for talks with the G7 today, after winning long-sought access to advanced US fighter jets to bolster Ukraine’s defence.

Zelensky’s surprise summit appearance, he had previously been expected to appear by video call, came after he welcomed a “historic” White House decision to allow Ukraine to obtain F-16 jets.
