The leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Romania arrived in Kyiv on Thursday in an apparent show of collective European support for Ukraine as it tries to resist Russia’s invasion.
The French president’s office said President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Premier Mario Draghi had traveled to Kyiv together, and Romanian President Klaus Iohannis will join them in the Ukrainian capital.
The European leaders are expected to meet with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in the highest-profile Western visit to Kyiv since Russia sent in troops to Ukraine Feb. 24.
