The visits of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi will take place ahead of the European Commission’s assessment of whether Ukraine should be granted EU candidate status.

Until recently, the arrival of three European leaders was shrouded in mystery – their visit was reported by one of the German media, but until recently, official sources did not confirm the visit, and the French embassy hinted that Macron will not come this time.

The intrigue was dispelled only the day before, and the politicians have already accompanied the beginning of the planned trip with appropriate photos.
