President Emmanuel Macron will meet his counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Paris on Monday for discussions about the conditions for a “fair and lasting peace” in Ukraine, the French presidency said.

France and other allies of Ukraine have been stepping up their support of Zelenskiy, who is under pressure to agree on a US-led peace deal that initially drew the ire of officials in Kyiv and in Europe.
