The longest shadows at the G7 leaders' summit this week will be cast by two countries that weren't even invited to the Hiroshima gathering: China and Russia
As the heads of the world's advanced democracies meet for three days from Friday in the western Japanese city, they will need to overcome some differences of their own, officials say, as they aim to project unity against challenges from Beijing and Moscow.

"I would call this a geopolitical G7, which will tackle a massive security crisis, which is the Russian aggression against Ukraine," a French presidency official said.
