Macron hugging Zelensky

This image shows French President Emmanuel Macron embracing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and whispering something in his ear, while Zelensky looks straight at the camera. This image was taken after a joint press conference in Kyiv in June 2022. Memes of this type typically imply that Macron, who has made several questionable comments about the state of the war and its eventual outcome, is attempting to win back Zelensky’s affections with sweet words and gestures. Other memes with this image will introduce pictures of other world leaders, such as former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, implying that there is an international contest for either Zelensky’s affection (from western leaders) or Macron’s affection (typically in images with Russian President Vladimir Putin).
