SINGAPORE -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to attend Asia's largest defense forum this weekend in Singapore, at a critical moment in his country's war against Russia.

A Ukrainian official told Nikkei Asia that Zelenskyy would be arriving in the city-state on Saturday for the Shangri-La Dialogue, which brings together top defense officials from around the world -- including superpower rivals the U.S. and China.
