Group of Seven powers, holding talks on Tuesday at a summit that Donald Trump left early, promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fresh support as Russia stepped up attacks on its neighbour.
The US president, who has had a volatile relationship with Zelensky and had been due to meet him, flew out of the summit in the Canadian Rockies late Monday to return to Washington to focus on the Israel-Iran conflict.
Zelensky arrived at the wooded mountain resort of Kananaskis after Russia ravaged Kyiv with one of the worst bombardments since it invaded in February 2022, killing at least 10 people in the capital.
PM Mark Carney, the host of the summit, welcomed Zelensky and announced Can$2 billion ($1.47b) of military support, including drones and helicopters, for Ukraine. "This underscores the importance of standing in total solidarity with Ukraine," Carney told him.
