President Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans to visit France next week. He announced this during a Zoom briefing, reports UNN.
Zelenskyy said that there are currently different visions regarding the military contingent for Ukraine, because there are countries that are ready to provide it in case of repeated aggression from the russian federation, there are those who agree to be stationed on the border, and there are those who only want to be at sea or in central large cities. Therefore, it is necessary to work out a common vision.
For example, our military team flew and tomorrow (today, March 20 – ed.) will be in London and there will be a technical meeting. After this meeting, next week I will be in France, and we will have several meetings, because there are countries that are ready, and there are those that are not comprehensively ready. Therefore, there will be a different circle of countries, and we will meet with different ones
