President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with a delegation of the French National Assembly headed by its President Yaël Braun-Pivet.
According to the Head of State, the visit of the President of the National Assembly of France is a sign of support for Ukraine, which he hopes will continue.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the French Parliament for its recent endorsement of the Agreement on security cooperation between Ukraine and France, the voting for which took place on March 12-13, 2024.
"I would particularly like to point out the latest decision, which was fundamental for us and became a new page in the security future of Ukraine – the security commitments signed between Ukraine and France on February 16, 2024. The fact that you supported them by a majority is remarkable, and we are very grateful for that. This is an important signal for other countries to make decisions on signing corresponding documents," the President said.
The interlocutors also discussed cooperation in the defense sector and the priority needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Special attention was paid to the recent substantive proposals of French President Emmanuel Macron to expand support for Ukraine in countering Russian aggression.
