Zelensky to attend G7 summit as Ukraine continues strikes and EU unveils new sanctions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reaffirmed his support for recent strikes on Russian oil and military sites, indicating that Ukraine is enforcing its own punitive measures. He also stated that an open letter sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin yielded the anticipated results. Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen introduced the 21st package of sanctions against Russia, asserting that "Our sanctions are working." Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas echoed this sentiment, remarking that "Brick by brick, we are collapsing the foundations of Russia's war economy." French President Emmanuel Macron further announced that President Zelensky is scheduled to attend the G7 summit on Tuesday.
