Correspondence//Zelenski in Brussels for a treaty with the EU: "It doesn't matter who will win in France"

"Democratic leaders listen to the will of the population, and we live in a democracy", said today, Thursday, June 27, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in Brussels, before the start of the summer summit of the 27.

Zelenskiy was answering a question from journalists about whether he is worried that in France, after next month's general election, Emmanuel Macron will be forced to rule alongside a government hostile to him, opposed to the war and with Putinist sympathies.

Zelenski arrived in Brussels to sign a security agreement with the European Union.

The EU is expected to join 17 countries, including the US, Japan, the UK, Germany and France, which have signed similar bilateral treaties to help Kiev repel Russian aggression.

This agreement will for the first time establish the commitment of all 27 member states to provide Ukraine with broad support, despite any internal institutional changes, Zelenskiy said, entering the meeting building alongside European Council President Charles Michel, whose will be replaced by former Portuguese leader Antonio Costa.

The agreement will cover the provision of modern equipment to Ukraine, training of Ukrainian personnel, demining and support to Ukraine for nuclear and cyber security, but also deals with civilian aspects, primarily Ukraine's prospect of joining the EU. The visit comes two days after the long-awaited start of accession negotiations between the European Union and Ukraine (but also the Republic of Moldova).
