The answer below:
news of the day
Volodymyr Zelensky interfered by videoconference at the annual G7 summit on Monday.
Faced with the leaders of Germany, the United States, France, Canada, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, the Ukrainian president asked for anti-aircraft defense systems, more sanctions on against Russia and security guarantees.
He also urged them "to do their utmost" to end the war that is ravaging his country before the end of the year.
For their part, the G7 countries pledged to support Ukraine by continuing to “increase the pressure on Putin”.
They thus announced a series of new sanctions against Moscow, including a tax on Russian goods to finance aid to Ukraine, a mechanism to cap the price of Russian oil at the global level, or even economic sanctions against the Russian defense industry.
The United States has also indicated that it plans to supply Ukraine with a sophisticated surface-to-air missile system of "medium and long range".
The phrase
“The world is watching us and the stakes are high.
We have a responsibility to act”
At the G7 summit, Emmanuel Macron recalled that because Russia's aggression against Ukraine threatened "the stability of Europe and the world", the G7 was meeting "with President Zelensky".
The number
35,000
Russian soldiers have been killed by Ukrainian forces since the start of the conflict, according to the government of Volodymyr Zelensky.
However, this figure remains unverifiable and Western sources rather count on 15,000 to 20,000 Russian soldiers who died in combat.
The trend of the day
Western leaders could well meet Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the G20 summit to be held in Bali in November.
The Russian president should a priori go there, and there is no question of boycotting the event.
On the other hand, this could be an opportunity for Westerners to "tell the Russian president face to face" "what we think, and that he take a position", declared the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
This is unlikely to be very positive for Vladimir Putin as fighting still rages in Ukraine and civilians continue to die.
This Monday again, a Russian missile hit a shopping center in Kremenchuk, with "more than a thousand civilians" inside, said the regional governor.
The provisional toll reported 10 dead and more than 40 injured.
