Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Paris on Friday, his spokesman said, for talks with President Emmanuel Macron on ramping up pressure on Russia.
The visit comes as talks brokered between Kyiv and Moscow by the United States to end the four-year invasion have been derailed by the
US-Israeli war with Iran.
"The president is already in Paris," Zelensky's spokesman Sergiy Nykyforov told reporters, including AFP journalists, adding the two leaders were expected to meet early afternoon local time and hold a press conference on Zelensky's 12th visit to France since the war started.
