Ukrainian ambassador to Japan Sergiy Korsunsky believes that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will visit Kyiv before the G-7 Hiroshima Summit in May. Kishida is the only leader left among the Group of Seven who has not visited Ukraine since Russia invaded last year, and the ambassador believes that a potential trip would carry "extremely powerful message to the world" about the intentions of the G-7 to fight against nuclear terrorists. Korsunsky said that logistical issues remain one of the top concerns of a potential trip by Kishida to Ukraine, and security concerns are also a priority. If extended an invite from G-7 nations, the ambassador said Zelenskyy would "carefully consider this opportunity, taking into account … issues of logistics and security." However, Korsunsky remains skeptical of such plans leading to tangible actions.
