Romania’s president, Klaus Iohannis, this morning arrived in Kyiv by train, the Romanian Presidency reports. Also today, the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, the chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz and the Prime Minister of Italy, Mario Draghi, arrived together with a special train in the Ukrainian capital-city. The European officials are here to express Europe’s solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Kyiv has criticized France, Germany and, to a lesser extent, Italy for alleged delays in providing Ukraine with weapons, and for supposedly putting their own prosperity before the liberty and security of Ukraine. On the other hand, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has thanked US president Joe Biden for the 1-billion-USD military aid the White House leader previously announced will go to Ukraine. Moreover, the Ukrainian president accepted the invitation to take part in the G7 and NATO summits in late June in southern Germany and Madrid, respectively, although he didn’t mention whether he will be attending the meetings in person or if he will address the participants by videoconference.
