French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi arrived in Kyiv Thursday morning, visiting the Ukrainian capital for the first time since the beginning of Russia’s invasion in a historic joint trip.
The three leaders took a night train to Kyiv, where they were greeted with air raid sirens amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.
“We’re here, focused, and we’re about to meet President Zelensky now to visit a war site where massacres have been committed, and then to lead the conversations that are scheduled with President Zelensky,” Macron said in comments to reporters at the train station in Kyiv.
“This is an important moment, this is the message of unity that we are sending to the Ukrainians,” he added.
