BELGRADE: President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced Russia’s latest deadly attacks on Kyiv on Saturday as he visited Serbia, one of the few European countries that has maintained friendly relations with Moscow throughout its invasion of Ukraine.
Four people, including a child, were killed in the overnight strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region. Ukrainian forces hit Russian oil facilities.
Zelensky arrived in Belgrade on Friday for his first official visit to Serbia.
Speaking at a press conference in Belgrade with Zelensky, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic described Ukraine as a “friendly nation” and said he was honored to welcome the Ukrainian leader — the first visit by a Ukrainian president in eight years.
The two leaders discussed their countries’ efforts toward joining the European Union, bilateral ties and ways to expand cooperation.
