Sun 17 April 2022:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he has invited his French counterpart to visit Ukraine to see for himself evidence that Russian forces have committed “genocide,” a term President Emmanuel Macron has avoided.
“I talked to him yesterday,” Zelenskyy told CNN in an interview recorded on Friday but broadcast on Sunday.
“I just told him I want him to understand that this is not war, but nothing other than genocide. I invited him to come when he will have the opportunity. He’ll come and see, and I’m sure he will understand.”
Zelenskyy said he also thought US President Joe Biden would come at some point, though White House officials have said there are no plans to do so.

Ukraine’s leader Zelenskyy has called on US President Joe Biden to visit his country.
“I think he’s the leader of the United States and that’s why he should come here to see,” Zelenskyy said during an interview with US outlet CNN.
“It’s his decision, of course,” Zelenskyy said, adding that any plans would depend on the security situation in Ukraine.
