                 Ukraine Could Overshadow World Nuclear Summit

   by VOA News

   World leaders began arriving in the Netherlands Sunday, ahead of a
   two-day nuclear security summit that is expected to be overshadowed by
   the crisis in Ukraine.
   Delegations from 53 countries will take part in the summit that starts
   Monday at The Hague. They will meet on reducing and securing nuclear
   supplies, and keeping them out of extremists' hands.
   The summit will form the backdrop for an emergency meeting of the Group
   of Seven leaders on Russia's annexation of Crimea. The G-7 leaders from
   the U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, France, Italy and Canada are
   scheduled to meet Monday afternoon.
   Russian President Vladimir Putin is not attending, instead sending
   Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is expected to hold talks with U.S.
   Secretary of State John Kerry.
   Notable absentees from the nuclear summit are North Korea and Iran.
