“It’s an important moment. It’s a message of unity we’re sending to the Ukrainians, of support, to talk both about the present and the future, since the coming weeks, as we know, will be very difficult,” Macron said as they arrived. “We’re here, we’re focused, we will join President Zelensky to go to a war site where massacres have been carried out,” Macron said.
“A balance has to be found between Ukraine’s natural aspirations to the EU at a very special time, and attention to all the countries which already have candidate status and are stuck in the negotiation chapters and the fact that we must not destabilise the EU or fracture it,” the Elysee official said.Zelensky is expected to push his visitors to send more arms to help his hard-pressed army withstand the Russian invaders.
Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Zelensky, told German newspaper Bild this week he was concerned the three leaders would put pressure on Kyiv to accept a peace deal favourable to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
