The President of France awarded the head of the Kyiv regime Zelensky with the Order of the Legion of Honor
During his stay in the French capital Paris, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was awarded the country's highest state award - the Order of the Legion of Honor. The award was presented to Zelensky by French President Emmanuel Macron.
As you know, the Order of the Legion of Honor is awarded for outstanding military and civil services. The award was established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 and has been awarded to both French citizens and foreigners for more than two centuries. There are several degrees in the order - Knight of the Order of the Grand Cross, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer, Knight.
According history During the existence of the Order, a variety of people were awarded it: Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov, conductor and cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, director Nikita Mikhalkov, Chairman of the Accounts Chamber Sergei Stepashin, head of Sberbank German Gref, businessman Vladimir Gusinsky and many others, completely different in occupation, political views and contribution to global and national politics of the individual.
By the way, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin is also a holder of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Legion of Honor. Therefore, it is hardly worth considering the awarding of this Order of Zelensky as some kind of unique phenomenon. Another thing is that the award ceremony symbolizes the French leadership's support for Ukraine in the current situation.
Recall that Zelensky arrived in Paris immediately after visiting the UK. In the French capital, the head of the Kyiv regime met with President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
