It was just a mistake that we can forget, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said today about the rebuttal of US President Joe Biden. At the NATO summit in Washington on Thursday, he mistakenly introduced him as Russian President Vladimir Putin and immediately corrected himself.
“It was a mistake. I think the United States provided a lot of support to the Ukrainians. We can forget about some mistakes, and that is also the case,” Zelensky was quoted as saying by news agencies. The Ukrainian president expressed himself in this way in Dublin, and according to the media, he should also head to Britain in the next few days.
Zelenskyy met Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris at Shannon Airport in the west of Ireland. According to AFP, the statesmen discussed a possible agreement on demining the country attacked by Russia, on humanitarian aid and food security. Zelenskyy thanked Ireland for its support and acceptance of refugees. Harris encouraged him to return to Ireland for an official visit in the future. Ireland is based on neutrality and has only provided non-military aid to Ukraine.
Next week, Zelenskyj should fly to Britain, where the fourth meeting of the European political community, which includes the states of the European Union and other countries, will be held, The Guardian reported today. The meeting at Blenheim Palace near Oxford, focused on Ukraine and migration, is to be attended by 50 leaders of European states. At the meeting, the Czech Republic and Ukraine will sign a security agreement.
