Ukraine represented for the D-Day commemorations. As Emmanuel Macron declared on Tuesday May 28, at the end of his state visit to Germany, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected in France on the occasion of the ceremony organized on June 6, for the 80th anniversary of the “D -Day” in Normandy. Emmanuel Macron announced this participation in response to a response to the hypothetical sending of French military instructors to Ukraine.
“I don’t usually comment on rumors”, replied Emmanuel Macron, while kyiv returned Monday evening to the declarations of the commander in chief of the Ukrainian army, who welcomed the imminent arrival of French instructors in the Kharkiv region. “I will have the opportunity (…) to receive him, and at that time to express myself very precisely on what we are going to do,” declared Emmanuel Macron from Münster, about the Ukrainian leader.
Faced with the breakthroughs of the Russian army on its soil, Ukraine is once again sounding the alarm and demanding more support from its Western allies. Three weeks before a summit on peace in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky urged his American counterpart Joe Biden not to miss this meeting, during a trip to Belgium where he was promised strengthened support in the war with Russia.
