Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted images of himself and his wife in Kyiv on Saturday with the leaders of France, Britain, Germany and Poland, all of whom are paying homage to fallen soldiers from Ukraine and elsewhere at a makeshift monument on Independence Square.
The Europeans are making an unprecedented joint visit to Ukraine for talks meant to increase pressure on Russia to accept a ceasefire.
“We commemorated the warriors who gave their lives for our freedom and Ukraine’s independence. Eternal glory and gratitude to the heroes – those who are no longer with us, but who will forever remain in our hearts. Eternal memory to those who gave their lives defending Ukraine,” the president posted on his X channel.
