Zelenskyy to make surprise visit to Paris for talks with French President Macron

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will make a surprise visit to Paris for talks on Sunday night with French President Emmanuel Macron, extending a multi-stop European tour that has elicited fresh pledges of additional military support as his country gears up for a counteroffensive against Russian occupation forces Macron's office announced the Paris leg of Zelenskyy's trip, and France dispatched a plane to pick up Zelenskyy in Germany, where he met Chancellor Olaf Scholz earlier Sunday.

Macron's office said the two leaders will hold talks over dinner and that Macron will “reaffirm France and Europe's unwavering support to reestablish Ukraine in its legitimate rights and to defend its fundamental interests.”(AP) RUP
