An envoy from Ukraine says they have been trying to reach Malacañang to arrange a Marcos-Zelenskiy meeting, but got no response.
MANILA, Philippines – Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. said his administration was “surprised” when an Ukraine diplomat said there was no response to a request for a meeting between him and embattled Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Denys Mykhailiuk, charges d’ affaires of the Ukrainian embassy in Malaysia, said in a virtual briefing on January 11 that Ukraine had been trying to reach Malacañang to arrange a meeting between the Philippine and Ukrainian leaders. But this went for naught. Zelenskiy has been leading the besieged Ukraine amid a Russian invasion. The Ukrainian leader has been courting support from different countries, specially for his proposed 10-point peace plan. Countries around the world have poured in billions of dollars into Ukraine for its defense and military resources.
The Ukrainian envoy said they’d been regularly filing a formal request for an encounter between the two leaders.
