Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Japan to attend the G7 summit, hours after US President Joe Biden gave the green light to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
On Friday, Mr Biden told allies at the conference that the US will allow the jets to be supplied to Kyiv. It is not clear when the jets will be supplied or from which country they will be sourced.
Mr Biden, who is attending the G7 with other members France, Italy, Germany, Japan and Canada, as well as the EU, also announced training for Ukrainian pilots.
Meanwhile, the G7 announced it would establish a new team to root out and counter Russia and China’s use of economic coercion to influence nations’ decisions.
