The rescheduling of Macron's visit to Ukraine for the third time comes soon after a Russian missile fell near the Ukrainian President and the Greek Prime Minister during their visit to Odesa. Macron was also scheduled to visit this city during his trip to Ukraine, Reuters wrote.

The French President is considering traveling to Ukraine with other Western leaders to show unity among allies and solidarity with Ukraine, diplomats sources said.
