KYIV, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy thanked European Council President Charles Michel and EU national leaders on Monday for their solidarity and support during his country's standoff with Russia, which has massed troops along their shared border.
"I'm grateful to you, Mr. President of the European Council, and to the leaders of the EU countries, whose diplomats remain in our state and support us, doing their job," Zelenskiy told Michel in a telephone conversation.
Zelenskiy also said Ukraine would not respond to provocations from the Russian side.
