French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Italian Prime Minister (PM) Mario Draghi plan to visit the Ukrainian capital next Thursday, to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
It is considered the first visit by the three leaders to Ukraine, since the start of the Russian invasion.
Reports about the planned meeting came amid the new gains achieved by Russia to encircle the city of Severodonetsk, which would bring Moscow significantly closer to its goal of controlling the Donbas region in the east.
Russian forces are now in control of more than 70% of Severodonetsk city, Al-Arabiya’s news agency said, according to the available information.
It also explained that the fighting between Ukrainian forces and Russia in the east of the country is taking place in 35 cities and villages.
“It is on the battlefield in Ukraine that the future rules of this world are being decided along with the boundaries of the possible,” Zelensky said via Telegram on Saturday.
“Let us save the whole world from coming back to the times when everything was decided based on the so-called right of might and when certain peoples and their ideas, and many nations, were of no consequence,” he added.
