French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi arrived in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv on Thursday. All these leaders first visited those parts of Kyiv, where Russia has launched tremendous attacks. This was followed by a long meeting with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. After this it was decided that NATO would give big help to Ukraine very soon. However, in what form it will be, it was not disclosed at the moment.
Ukraine may get heavy weapons
According to a report in The New York Times, NATO countries may very soon meet Ukraine’s demand for heavy weapons to counter Russia. In April, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also visited Kyiv. It is believed that NATO countries can first give Ukraine 6 truck-launched special howitzer units. France has already given 12 units of this to Ukraine. Russia is troubled by the attack of these missiles and because of this it had to give up the occupation of Kherson in southern Ukraine.
Will defend Ukraine
During a media interaction in Kiev, Macron said- We have come here and taken stock of the ground situation. Ukraine is fighting for its existence. We also have the responsibility to save his freedom and existence. This is our goal and every effort is being made to achieve it.
In response to a question, Macron said – Ukraine has no problem in getting EU membership, but there are rules for this and we are trying to get Ukraine first EU membership as soon as possible.
