Background:
- On 17 February, French President Emmanuel Macron instructed the government to "make a statement to the parliament" regarding the bilateral security agreement signed with Ukraine on 16 February and the situation in Ukraine as a whole, after which there will be a "debate and vote".
- Subsequently, it became known that the French president will gather leaders of parties represented in Parliament to talk about the "situation in Ukraine" on Thursday, 7 March, which is obviously a preparatory meeting before the debate.
- On Tuesday, Macron travelled to Prague, where he will explain his position on France's participation in the Czech plan to purchase shells for Ukraine outside of Europe.
