German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has invited leaders from the Group of Seven economic powers to a summit next Thursday in Brussels, a government spokesperson said on Friday.
"The meeting is embedded in the NATO summit and the European Council," the spokesperson told a regular government news conference. "The meeting will serve to exchange views on current issues, in particular the situation in Ukraine."
