Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared an emotional moment with a veteran during a D-Day ceremony in Normandy, France on Thursday. The veteran, who also met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, kissed Zelenskyy's hand and told him he was the "saviour of the people." Zelenskyy, who embraced the veteran and held his hand, kneeled to be at the same level as they exchanged a few words.
