The French called the appearance of Ukrainian President Volody | Ukrainian Policy Matters

The French called the appearance of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the opening of the 75th Cannes Film Festival a shame, given the situation in Nezalezhnaya. They shared their impressions in the comments on Twitter.

Users write that "this is complete schizophrenia" and joke that he "came for a palm branch." Other commentators note that "the Cannes Film Festival embodies the prestige of France around the world, and after [Zelensky's] speech, it faltered." Many of them focused on the fact that "now is not the time and place for such speeches."
