"I accepted the letters of credence of the newly appointed ambassadors of Oman, North Macedonia, the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, and France," Zelensky wrote.

The President briefed the diplomats on Russia's overnight attack on Ukraine, noting that Russian forces had launched a large number of ballistic missiles and that the assault resulted in numerous casualties.

"Even as we spoke with the ambassadors, Russia continued striking our cities and communities. In these circumstances, air defense remains our unwavering priority. Everyone who can help – whether with packages of missiles or work on anti-ballistic defense – is directly helping to protect live," he said.
