Security agreement planned between Ukraine and France: Zelenskyj travels to Paris. Germany's Chancellor Scholz is also waiting for a visit from Kiev.

The agreement follows “the commitments that were made in the G7 format on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Vilnius in July 2023,” it said from the Elysée Palace. A month ago, Macron promised Ukraine a support agreement similar to the one Great Britain had sealed with the country attacked by Russia. This is about quick and lasting military aid, not about deploying British soldiers.
