What we're covering
President Joe Biden is in Paris, meeting Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron after the trio attended the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy.
Zelensky addressed France's National Assembly on Friday, warning that Europe is "no longer a continent of peace."
Biden apologized to his Ukrainian counterpart over the hold-up of an aid package, which was beset by delays amid Republican opposition in Congress earlier this year.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was not invited to the D-Day events, is expected to speak at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, addressing his “vision of the current situation in the world economy and politics."
The leaders' speeches come as Russia's offensive continues in the northeastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv, despite Ukraine beginning to fire back into Russia using Western weapons.
