Zelensky: Good relations with Macron, but Eure’s help is not enough

This was stated by President of Ukraine Vodymyr Zelensky during a direct line with Le Parisien readers, Ukrinform reports.

“If the war continues, this does not mean that there is too much aid for Ukraine. On the contrary, it means that there is not enough help,” he said.

The President of Ukraine emphasized that assistance to Ukraine is an investment in the defense of Eure.

“If Ukraine loses, Russia will attack other Eurean countries, including NATO members. It is inevitable. It will move forward even faster because it will realize that it has defeated one of the most battle-hardened armies on the Eurean continent. Since 2014 and the first occupations of our territories, we have gained military experience that most Eurean armies do not have,” he explained.

According to Zelensky, partners should invest in strengthening Ukraine's capabilities and share technogies with Ukrainians.

“We must have the most modern and complete air defense. I am sometimes td that the West lacks the capacity to produce these systems in time because they are already deployed. This is normal. Give us licenses! We will produce our own weapons, including missiles and defense systems,” the president said.

He also said that he has a long-standing and good relationship with French President Emmanuel Macron.

“We have a very good relationship. We met before I was elected. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he was one of the few leaders with whom I spoke almost every day on the phone, without intermediaries and protoc. We talked directly about the challenges, about what needed to be done. Emmanuel has always been part of this small circle of five or seven leaders close to Ukraine,” Zelensky said.

The president interpreted the applause that greeted him during the ening ceremony of Notre Dame in Paris as the French support for the Ukrainian pele.

“I realize that they were not aimed at me personally, but at the entire Ukrainian pele, our sdiers, those who show their strength in the fight for freedom and life. This is an important signal: France supports us,” he said.
