In addition to the President of the United States Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Makron, the President of Poland Andrzej Duda, and others congratulated Volodymyr Zelensky with his victory in the presidential elections in Ukraine.
That is what Zelensky himself announced on Facebook.
"Thanks to French President Emmanuel Macron for the congratulations," Zelensky wrote.
It is worth noting that he was also congratulated on his victory by the EU and the US. So, Zelensky received congratulations from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg together with the Polish President Andrzej Duda, who invited Zelensky for a visit.
“President Andrzej Duda congratulated the elected President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on the phone and invited him to Poland," the office of the Polish President informed on Twitter.
Zelensky was also congratulated by the Head of the European Council Donald Tusk. The Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan congratulated Zelensky in Ukrainian language.
In addition, Volodymyr Zelensky was congratulated by the British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt, who noted that at this moment he would really become a servant of the people.
"We congratulate Volodymyr Zelensky and his team on their success in the presidential election. Now you really will be a servant of the people. We look forward to working together as the UK continues to support Ukraine, its Euro-Atlantic path, reform process and security," he wrote on Twitter.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reminded Zelensky that Ukraine is an important partner of the North Atlantic Alliance.
Senior analyst at the Atlantic Council Anders Aslund said, "I hope Poroshenko will be present at the inauguration of Zelensky. It will be a great motion."
"It is the decisive day for Ukraine. Free elections and peaceful change of power = strong Ukrainian democracy. Congratulations to жест Zelensky. The EU is determined to continue its support," European Council President Donald Tusk wrote.
Congratulations to Zelensky from the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko: "I am pleased to note that the foundation of relations between our countries is traditionally hardened by the common history of fraternal relations between Belarusians and Ukrainians. I confirm that Belarus has always been and will remain a predictable partner for Ukraine, a reliable neighbor and a good friend."
Lukashenko also expressed his conviction that joint efforts would allow to preserve the positive dynamics of bilateral cooperation for a long time and to deepen it, and that Zelensky's activity as the head of state would contribute to the prosperity of Ukraine, the establishment of peace and civil accord. The President of Belarus wished Zelensky good health and implementation of all plans for the benefit of the friendly Ukrainian people.
