Volodymyr Zelensky has accused some Arab leaders of "turning a blind eye" to Russia's invasion ahead of his expected appearance at the G7 summit in Japan. On Friday, Mr Zelensky was in Saudi Arabia for an Arab League summit. Of the Arab League nations, only Syria has openly supported Russia's invasion. "Unfortunately, there are some in the world and here among you who turn a blind eye to those [prisoner of war] cages and illegal annexations," said Mr Zelensky. Mr Zelensky also took aim at Iran, which is not a member of the Arab League, for supplying Shahed drones to Russia.
