00:00A guard of honour and a standing ovation for Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:08Speaking before the French National Assembly on Friday, the Ukrainian president painted
00:12a bleak picture of the current state of affairs in Europe.
00:17Unfortunately, we live in a time when Europe is no longer a continent of peace, and at
00:25a time when Nazism is making a comeback.
00:28Once again in Europe, cities are being completely destroyed and villages are being burnt down.
00:33Once again in Europe, filtration and deportation camps are appearing, as well as hatred, which
00:38has become a new Russian cult.
00:41Zelensky was quick to thank France once again for choosing what he calls the side of humanity.
00:47Markiev can always count on the unfailing support of President Macron.
00:50The Ukrainian president called on France to do more.
00:54He did end on a positive note, stating that he hopes the international peace summit scheduled
00:59for next week in Switzerland can finally bring Ukraine a step closer to the end of the war.
01:09Dear friends, in a week's time, our D-Day, Diplomacy Day, will take place.
01:17The inaugural peace summit could become a format that brings us closer to a just end
01:21to this war.
01:27After his speech at the Assembly, Zelensky met with Joe Biden, with the US President
01:31using the opportunity to announce $225 million in new aid for Ukraine.
