Meeting of the Coalition of Willing in Kyiv
Yesterday, Macron announced that he would participate in the Coalition of Willing leaders' meeting, which will take place today, May 10, in Kyiv.
He noted that the meeting would be held in a hybrid format, meaning some leaders would be present in person, while others would join online for security reasons. At that time, Macron had not clarified in which format he would personally participate.
We also reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had announced the meeting, although he did not specify what would be discussed during the gathering.
