Macron, Scholz & Draghi in Ukraine: First stop is visit to hard-hit Irpin • FRANCE 24 English

The leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Romania walked around ruined buildings and wrecked cars in the Ukrainian town of Irpin on Thursday in a show of support which Kyiv hopes will be followed by tougher action to help in the war with Russia. The tour of Irpin, the scene of heavy fighting early in the invasion, was meant to highlight what Ukraine and its backers say were large-scale atrocities committed by Russian troops. FRANCE 24's Senior Reporter Cyril Payen gives his perspective.

Hope Ukraine gets what they asked from the West... Glory to Ukraine

Well done to this trio - Macron, Schulz and Draghi - the quiet voice of support.
They are like Christian bishops addressing themselves to Genghis Khan.
Like Pope Leo I meeting Attila the Hun outside besieged Rome (452).
The train scene was like Brief Encounter - the diplomatic trio, infused with brio,
feted and fated to failure disgrace : but persevering in the belief of Peace with Putin.
