00:00 France's new foreign minister, Stéphane Séjourné, said from Kyiv that Ukraine will remain a
00:06 priority for France during his first international visit in his new role.
00:11 He reiterated that French government would pledge support for Ukraine for as long as
00:16 necessary but did not announce new weapon delivery.
00:19 "Russia hopes that Ukraine and its support will be there before it.
00:27 We will not weaken, our determination is intact, as well as our admiration for the courage
00:32 and resilience of the Ukrainian people in this period which is very difficult."
00:38 Dozens of people gathered in the centre of Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana, to express
00:44 their views on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
00:47 Pro-Ukrainians are in favour of the Slovenian government's declaration of Russia as terrorist
00:51 state.
00:52 However, pro-Russian activists call on Slovenia to declare Ukraine as a Nazi state and the
00:58 United States and Israel as terrorist states.
01:03 In the frontline towns of the Zaporizhia region, medical facilities have been closed
01:08 since the start of the full-scale war with Russia.
01:12 "We are not having enough antivirus drugs, this is always a problem.
01:16 We have no heart drugs, no medicine, no pharmacy, we only have one point of help."
01:26 Volunteers deliver medication to the towns, but often they are not enough and Niana has
01:32 to buy the medicine with her own money and bring it back to those in need.
