In Brussels, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with President of France Emmanuel Macron.
The Head of State noted that France is helping as much as possible to find ways to respond to Russian escalation.
“During our meeting, Russia launched yet another vile drone strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in Lutsk. There are power outages in the city. Unfortunately, this kind of blatant and vile Russian terror has been taking place almost constantly these days,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The President of Ukraine emphasized that Russia had demonstratively disregarded U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for an energy ceasefire and is now taking advantage of problems with Starlink operations to cause maximum destruction to everything that sustains everyday life.
The leaders discussed various ways to counter this. New packages to strengthen Ukrainian combat aviation will be provided this month.
Work on European anti-ballistic defense is also being accelerated – FREYJA needs to become operational by the end of the year.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Emmanuel Macron, noting that Ukraine has already received all the weaponry production licenses promised by France. It is important to implement this promptly at the team level.
