Zelenskiy, Japan PM lay flowers in Hiroshima

STORY: Accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, he paid his respects to the atomic bomb victims and laid flowers at the memorial.

Zelenskiy's surprise attendance at the G7 summit in Hiroshima, the first city to suffer a nuclear attack, also highlighted western concerns over the nuclear threat posed by Moscow.

Upon his arrival on Saturday (May 20), Zelenskiy got a warm welcome in meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, France's President Emmanuel Macron, and Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and others as he continued to call for support against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
