Details: Zelenskyy had originally intended to meet with the previous foreign minister, Catherine Colonna, but plans were altered due to personnel changes in the government, Le Figaro's sources close to Séjourné explained.

According to Le Figaro, the new head of French diplomacy is "on his way to Kyiv", where he will meet with the Ukrainian president to "demonstrate France's support for Ukraine against Russia".

This week, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the appointment of Gabriel Attal as the new prime minister following the resignation of his predecessor, Élisabeth Borne.

Earlier, the Élysée Palace announced that the majority of key ministers from the Borne government have kept their positions in the new French government, but the foreign minister has been replaced.

Attal, France’s youngest-ever prime minister, has roots in the city of Odesa on his mother’s side.
