MOSCOW, May 19. /TASS/. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will personally visit Hiroshima to take part in the G7 summit, Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Alexey Danilov confirmed on Friday.

"Very important decisions will be made there (at the G7 summit - TASS), so the physical presence of our president is absolutely necessary to defend our interests, explain, make clear proposals and arguments about what is happening in our country," he said during a Rada TV broadcast.

Earlier, the Kyodo news agency reported, citing "several sources" in the US and Japanese governments, that Zelensky would attend the G7 summit in person.
