G7 united over Ukraine - Scholz

STORY: Speaking to reporters after a walkabout with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Scholz said they were "also cautious that we will help Ukraine as much as possible but that we also avoid that there will be a big conflict between Russia and NATO.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy also addressed the G7 leaders via video link.

Zelenskiy asked for anti-aircraft defence systems, more sanctions on Russia and security guarantees as he addressed leaders of the Group of Seven summit, a European official said.

Addressing the summit in the Bavarian Alps via video link, Zelenskiy also asked for help to export grain from Ukraine and for reconstruction aid, the European official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
