Working together in Kiev is something that will be positively appreciated by many peoples of the world. And not only in Europe. Now Kiev is the capital of global democracy, the capital of the struggle for freedom for everyone on the European continent, Zelensky said.
He also said that he had talked with French President Emmanuel Macron about the humanitarian situation in the temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine and how to help people in the blocked Mariupol. According to him, the leaders of the countries agreed that France, in particular, will provide the necessary technical and expert support in investigating the crimes of the Russian occupiers in Bucha and other cities of Ukraine.
