- Zelensky congratulated French President Emmanuel Macron on his reelection in a race against far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, who has a history of warm relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Russian leader sent his own message of congratulations to Macron, who won a second term as French president…..
