French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi arrived in Kyiv, Ukraine in a joint visit to show their support for Ukraine against Russia’s attacks.
The three European leaders traveled together to Kyiv on a special train. They met shortly after departure in the seating area of the French president’s carriage to discuss upcoming exchanges with President Zelensky, according to BFMTV live footage.
French President Macron said upon his arrival in Kyiv: “It’s an important moment. It’s a message of unity we’re sending to the Ukrainians.”
Macron declared in Irpin, in the suburbs of Kyiv that France will continue to support Ukraine: “We will continue this long-term support in all its forms. I have always been constant. France has been alongside Ukraine since day one,” adding: “Today, Ukraine must be able to resist and win. We are at the side of the Ukrainians and Ukrainians without ambiguity.”
The President of the French Republic said: “We are going to find President Zelensky to both go to a war site where massacres have been committed, and to conduct planned interviews.”
The highest-profile visit to the country comes ahead of the European Commission which is taking place this Friday, June 17th. The leaders will discuss “Ukraine’s candidate status for the European Union and the European Political Community” as Elysee told BFMTV.
Ukraine officially applied for EU membership a few days after the start of the Russian invasion.
