Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he held a phone call with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, during which the two leaders discussed Macron's visit to China. Zelensky wrote on the Telegram app: "I informed him about the situation on the front and other intentions aimed at liberating all our territories, and I praised France's determination to enhance vital support for Ukraine on the battlefield." The French president visited China last week and urged President Xi Jinping to "convince" Russia to stop the war in Ukraine.
