Zelensky said the jets would not help the war effort immediately, but the decision was “a great result”. “I’m very happy,” he said, as he held a string of meetings with G7 leaders, including those from Italy, Britain, France and Germany. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Zelensky for the first time since the war began and offered some measure of support. Zelensky “thanked India for supporting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our country”, according to Ukrainian officials. The G7 insisted however that it still seeks “constructive and stable relations” with China.
