After a visit to the United States in December, Volodymyr Zelensky passed through the United Kingdom and France on Wednesday February 8, before a European summit on Thursday. Journalist Valéry Lerouge explains that these trips are a way for him to thank his allies while asking for more help.

In December 2022, Volodymyr Zelensky went to the UNITED STATES. Wednesday February 9, he arrived in France in the evening, after passing through the United Kingdom. While the Ukrainian president is expected Thursday in Brussels (Belgium) for a European summit, the journalist Valéry Lerouge, present on the set of 8 Hours, brings his analysis on his travels: “Volodymyr Zelensky at least has a sense of gratitude and arithmetic. In fact, he visits the most generous countries, in order.”

“Ask for more help”

These trips are not only used to thank its donors. “Volodymyr Zelensky comes to ask for more help, more weapons, more ammunition, tanks, fighter planes. We know that all Western countries put the brakes on planes”continues the journalist, who indicates that on Wednesday, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak “opened a door a crack saying he was going to train pilots”. “Hard to believe that the European Union will let Volodymyr Zelensky go empty-handed”concludes the journalist.
