Paris: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Paris on Friday for discussions with President Emmanuel Macron aimed at increasing pressure on Russia. This visit is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts amidst a challenging geopolitical landscape.

According to France24.com, the talks come at a time when negotiations brokered by the United States between Kyiv and Moscow have stalled. The derailment is attributed to the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, which has shifted international focus and resources. The discussions in Paris are expected to address these challenges and explore new strategies to revive the stalled peace efforts between Ukraine and Russia.
