Leaders of Canada, European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States are meeting in Évian-les-Bains in France for talks on Ukraine, the Middle East, and (waves arms) the world on fire.
After last night’s arrivals, it’s time to sit down and talk issues this morning, beginning with Ukraine.
The leaders will be joined by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as they try to keep US president, Donald Trump, on side amid fears he could be tempted to once again engage with Russia circumventing Europe.

Just as the leaders are about to sit down for their talks, Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian forces struck a Moscow oil refinery last night in a “response” to recent attacks on Kyiv.
“Russia must be forced to end the war against our people,” he said.
The leaders will also talk about the Middle East …
… and their relations with rapidly growing economies elsewhere before taking part in a number of bilateral meetings and a formal dinner later tonight.
