Thursday June 16, Emmanuel Macron is come by train in Ukraine, accompanied by the German Chancellor and the Head of the Italian Government. They will meet Volodymyr Zelensky during the day. The journalist Agnes Vahramyan was live from Kyiv.
“This is a crucial visit for relations between Ukraine and Western Europeans. It was time for the three biggest powers in Europe to come here because kyiv had doubts. Doubts about the willingness for military support German. Lots of promises and very little effect. And then doubts after the declarations of Emmanuel Macron, in particular the one saying: ‘We must not humiliate Russia’. This had been interpreted here as a form of pressure on Ukraine to make territorial concessions in the midst of war”reports journalist Agnès Vahramyan live from Kyiv.
“So Emmanuel Macron offered some sort of reparation today in words and you know in politics words matter. He said: ‘Ukraine must resist and win'”, explains the journalist. The three European leaders are expected to promise further military aid to Ukraine in the afternoon.
