Macron welcomes Zelenskiy in France for talks as Ukrainian president hails Kyiv’s ‘expanding’ war capabilities; two Russian commanders killed in Ukraine
Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, landed in Paris ahead of bilateral talks with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron. “With each visit, Ukraine’s defense and offensive capabilities are expanding,” Zelensky tweeted as he arrived on Sunday evening at the airbase of Villacoublay, south-west of Paris. Macron later welcomed Zelenskiy to the Élysée Palace. The French president’s office said the pair would discuss France’s “support” in responding to “Ukraine’s urgent military and humanitarian needs” during a dinner at the presidential palace.
Zelenskiy thanked Germany for its support and what he called the largest military aid package since the beginning of Russia’s invasion as he met with president Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, in Berlin on Sunday.
