Zelenskyy held meetings with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, seeking additional military support from European allies, particularly fighter jets.
While the Brussels trip had remained under wraps due to security concerns, sources within the European Parliament say that they are prepared to host a special sitting to allow Zelenskyy to address MEPs.Fianna Fáil MEP, Billy Kelleher, told The Journal that Zelenskyy’s visit to Brussels was “a big step” in progressing Ukraine’s plans to join the EU.
