Details: Macron will meet with Zelenskyy in the Elysee Palace in order to discuss "the needs of Ukraine" amid the full-scale aggression of Russia, the administration of the French President said.

"Amid the intensifying Russian attacks in the combat zone and on the power infrastructure, both presidents will discuss the situations on the fronts and Ukraine’s needs," the administration announced.

These discussions will be "continuation of the Conference in Support of Ukraine held at the Champs Elysees on 26 February", during which Macron voiced the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine for the first time.

Macron announced Zelenskyy’s visit last week but the Ukrainian side has not confirmed it yet.

The media reported that France might soon send military instructors to Ukraine, despite the concern of some allies and criticism from Russia’s side. Zelenskyy’s visit may become a pretext for Paris to announce this decision at the end of the week.
