The Ukrainian president continues his speeches by videoconference to governments around the world. On Wednesday at 3 p.m., Volodymyr Zelensky will speak live on video to French deputies.
“The war situation affecting the Ukrainian people concerns all the peoples of Europe, and their parliamentary assemblies”, explained the presidency of the National Assembly in a press release.
Around the world in video
Volodymyr Zelensky has already addressed MEPs by video on March 1, then before the British parliament, Canadian parliamentarians, the American Congress and the German Bundestag. On Sunday, he still has to address the Israeli parliament.
On February 25, the day after the outbreak of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, a message from Emmanuel Macron was read before the French Assembly and Senate, according to the rare procedure of article 18 paragraph 1 of the Constitution. Then on March 1 a debate was organized after a government statement.
Help to “stop this war”
The Assembly’s Defense Committee also conducted hearings, despite the pause in legislative work before the presidential election. It is “in line with his action” that the National Assembly, chaired by Richard Ferrand (LREM), will welcome the President of the Republic of Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky implored Westerners on Thursday to help “stop this war”, after three weeks of a Moscow offensive that shows no sign of respite despite the continuation of talks.
