Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a surprise visit to the Philippines on June 3, 2024. Zelensky met Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr at Malacanang Palace, where both leaders voiced their commitment to sovereignty and a global rules-based order. He thanked the Philippines for supporting Ukraine’s “territorial integrity and sovereignty” and Manila’s planned attendance at the coming Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland on June 15-16. Marcos Jnr said the Philippines stood ready to help through multilateral efforts and the United Nations. The meeting marked the second time Zelensky and Marcos Jnr held talks on the Ukraine-Russia war, and followed an unannounced appearance by the Ukrainian leader at the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference in Singapore.
