Macron Hosts Zelensky in Paris Amid Shifting Ukraine War Diplomacy

French President Emmanuel Macron will host Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris on Monday. The meeting aims to demonstrate France's continued support for Ukraine. The visit comes at a critical diplomatic moment. Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently said he could quickly negotiate a deal to end the war if re-elected. "This is very much a show of support from Emmanuel Macron," said FRANCE 24 senior reporter Catherine Norris-Trent in Paris. Zelensky is working to strengthen European backing as the U.S. political landscape evolves. The leaders are expected to discuss Ukraine's military, humanitarian, and political needs.
