President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with President of France Emmanuel Macron.
The leaders discussed the outcomes of the multilateral meeting in Dublin and coordinated their positions ahead of the Coalition of the Willing meeting in Berlin.
“All of our partners are closely monitoring the diplomatic situation right now. And it is important to us that Europe not only be informed but also be involved in the negotiations to the fullest extent possible,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
The Presidents of Ukraine and France also discussed the situation on the front line and the consequences of Russian strikes, which have made conditions very difficult in many Ukrainian cities and communities across Vinnytsia, Rivne, Kyiv, Dnipro, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions.
The Head of State emphasized that since the beginning of this month alone, Russia has deliberately carried out more than 310 strikes against energy facilities in Ukraine. Nearly 700,000 families are currently without power.
“Of course, we are doing everything possible to restore power. But we urgently need our partners’ support,” the President of Ukraine noted.
