Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Paris on Friday to sign a security agreement with Emmanuel Macron. His European tour was, however, overshadowed by the death in prison of Alexeï Navalny, number one opponent of Vladimir Putin.

The master of the Kremlin will have to “be held accountable for his crimes,” accused Zelenski. He “paid for his courage with his life,’ added German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Berlin “will not relax its support” for Ukraine, warned the German leader.
