5 countries in 2 days
Selenskyj on European tour, first stop in London
Volodymyr Zelensky is set to embark on a marathon tour of European countries on Thursday and Friday. The Ukrainian president will visit five countries in two days. The first stop was Great Britain, followed by France and Italy. Germany and an audience with the Pope are still on the agenda.
On Thursday morning, Selensky was welcomed with a hug by Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the seat of government in London's Downing Street. The new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also took part in the meeting.
Selensky then arrived in Paris in the afternoon, where he was received by French President Emmanuel Macron. Part of the talks included the presentation of his "victory plan". This is Zelensky's fifth visit to France since the start of the Russian war of aggression in February 2022.
Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni received Zelensky in the evening at Villa Doria Pamphilj for talks, as seen on TV footage. On Friday, an audience with Pope Francis is on the agenda before Selenskyj comes to Berlin, where he wants to meet Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
During his tour of the European capitals, the Ukrainian president is likely to seek further military support to defend against the Russian war of aggression. The Ukrainian president is also demanding permission from his Western allies to use long-range weapons against targets on Russian territory.
Ukraine summit canceled due to hurricane "Milton"
Selensky had actually wanted to attend the meeting of the Ukraine Contact Group of 50 allied states of Kiev planned for Saturday at the airbase in Ramstein (Rhineland-Palatinate), to which US President Joe Biden had invited. However, Biden canceled his visit to Germany at short notice due to Hurricane Milton. The summit was then postponed indefinitely.
