ゼレンスキー氏、原爆資料館訪問　広島の惨事「ウクライナと酷似」

　ウクライナのゼレンスキー大統領は２１日、広島市の平和記念公園内にある平和記念資料館（原爆資料館）を訪れた。ゼレンスキー氏は館内を視察後、岸田文雄首相と共に原爆死没者慰霊碑に献花。その後の記者会見で、被爆直後の広島の写真がロシアによる攻撃を受けるウクライナの街と「とても似ていた」と述べ、侵攻の不当性を世界に訴えた。
　ゼレンスキー氏は、ロシアが南部ザポロジエ原発を占拠している現状を踏まえ、「原発を盾にウクライナの街を砲撃しているのはロシアだ」と批判。「核の威嚇」を繰り返すロシアを「テロ国家」だと糾弾した。
　資料館訪問に先立っては、先進７カ国（Ｇ７）首脳との討議や、Ｇ７とインド、ブラジルなど広島サミット招待国を交えた会合に出席。ロシアの侵攻が長期化する中、反転攻勢に向けた支援強化を直接要請するなど、サミット参加の機会を生かした積極的な外交を展開した。（2023/05/21-21:30）

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in active diplomacy in the western Japan city of Hiroshima on Sunday, the third and final day of this year's Group of Seven summit, seeking stepped-up support in the run-up to Kyiv's planned counteroffensive against the Russian military aggression.
   In the afternoon, he met with U.S. President Joe Biden, who told the Ukrainian leader that the United States will start training Ukrainian forces on operating F-16 fighter jets. Biden also vowed to provide Ukraine with additional military assistance including ammunition and artillery. Ukraine has been strongly calling on the United States to supply F-16s.
   On Sunday morning, Zelenskyy held separate talks with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Indonesian President Joko Widodo and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol. He also took part in a session among leaders of the world's seven major powers also joined by leaders of nations invited to the G-7 summit as guests.
   After the series of meetings, Zelenskyy tweeted: "As long as invaders remain on our land, no one will sit down at the negotiating table with Russia. The colonizer must get out. And the world has enough power to force Russia to restore peace step by step."
   Later on Sunday, Zelenskyy is slated to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, chair of the Hiroshima G-7 summit, and hold a press conference in the city in the evening. The G-7 groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States plus the European Union.
