I Stand By My Theory That Ze *loves* Bearhugs And That Providing Them Is One Of Andriys Key Roles In

But a Rama hug!

It's chérie time ❤️

The handholding. I cannot with those two.

At this point, it's a French-Ukrainian romance

Oh now even NYT is joining in.

Zelensky and Macron are not just allies, but close friends, - NYT

The presidents of Ukraine and France no longer even use official diplomatic channels, but simply call each other on the phone - on secure lines, WhatsApp and Signal.

In one interview, Zelensky called Macron "an expert on war."

Macron regularly receives detailed information from his General Staff and intelligence services about the progress of the war, and in conversations with Zelensky, he discusses the situation on the battlefield in detail, right down to the names of frontline towns and villages.

In todays episode of presidents holding random things ...

Ok, so Meloni was obviously happy to see Ze...

...and share some juicy gossip ...

...but I really don't know what to make of this look

Giorgia. I know he's cute, but you run a G7 country. Please control yourself.

Diplomacy

...Ukrainian-style.

Lol.

Caption contest!

What are these two giggling about?

Well that was fun news to wake up to...

Fuck russia.

A russian drone with a high-explosive warhead attacked the 'sarcophagus' of the destroyed Chornobyl NPP Unit 4

A fire broke out there after the impact, it has been extinguished. The radiation background has not increased so far. Preliminary reports indicate that the damage to the sarcophagus is significant.

Look at how badly Russia wants peace! According to the new US government, of course. Look at the actions of a completely normal, non-terrorist country that only wants peace and safety.

Did he take the day off for his birthday and get some gaming time in?

What a nerd.

Macron was supposed to skip the EU meeting in Brussels to go to Mayotte which just got hit by a devastating storm. But he still went to Brussels first just for a quick hug and meet with Ze. The RPF really does write itself at this point. (pics annexed from getty images)

"We have a very good relationship. I appreciate him very much. Our first meeting was before I was even elected. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Emmanuel was one of the few leaders with whom I spoke almost every day on the phone, without intermediaries or protocols. We talked directly about the challenges, about what had to be done. Emmanuel was always part of this small circle of five, seven leaders who were close to Ukraine. I am very grateful to him for that."
