Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a series of bilateral meetings upon his arrival at the G7 summit in Hiroshima. G7 leaders also called on China to "put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression" against Ukraine.

They reaffirmed their "opposition" to any Chinese "militarization" in the Asia-Pacific, assuring that there is "no legal basis" for the country's "expansive maritime claims" in South China Sea. They said they wanted "constructive and stable" relations with Beijing.
