The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, met with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, in Paris on October 10, 2024.

During the meeting, Zelensky presented the details of the Victory Plan and discussed with Macron its specific points.

"First of all, thank you to the French people, to France for supporting us from the very beginning of the full-scale war. Thank you, Emmanuel. You are a very strong friend of our people," Zelensky stated.

The leaders discussed the implementation of the Peace Formula and efforts to achieve a just peace. Special attention was given to joint weapons production in Ukraine and co-production. The Ukrainian side proposed expanding such cooperation.

Zelensky thanked Macron for military assistance, training of the Ukrainian brigade "Anne of Kyiv", the preparation of pilots and mechanics, and also highlighted the decision to supply Mirage 2000 fighters.

Among other topics of discussion were the return of the Ukrainian children deported by Russia and the implementation of agreements by G7 leaders regarding 50 billion USD for Ukraine.

The President of Ukraine also stated that Ukraine does not consider the possibility of a ceasefire in exchange for guarantees from the western alliance. He expressed hope for French assistance, particularly regarding permission to use "certain long-range munitions".

This is already the fifth visit of the Ukrainian leader to Paris since the beginning of the full-scale Russian aggression in Ukraine. The day before, Zelensky met with the Prime Minister of the UK, Keir Starmer, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in London, where he also presented the Victory Plan.
