On Monday, Zelenskiy will visit French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, as the Ukrainian leader finds himself in the most difficult political and military situation since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
The two leaders will discuss "the conditions of a just and durable peace", following talks in Geneva and the American peace plan, the Elysee Palace said in a statement on Saturday.
