President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with President of France Emmanuel Macron.
The Head of State thanked France for doing so much to protect lives.
The President informed his counterpart about Ukraine's priority needs - first and foremost, air defense systems and missiles. Russia is now taking advantage of the moment - the fact that the Middle East and domestic issues in every country are getting maximum attention. The Head of State emphasized that Russian strikes have become even more vile. The leaders discussed how to counter this, in particular through continued efforts to expand the PURL initiative.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Emmanuel Macron also coordinated their contacts with other partners and the diplomatic activities for the coming weeks. Work continues to further increase pressure on Russia.
