On Monday, July 13, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will hold talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris, participate in a meeting of the new anti-ballistic coalition, and later attend the summit of the coalition of the willing.
According to a Ukrinform correspondent, this was reported by the Élysée Palace.
According to the preliminary schedule, Macron will meet with Zelensky at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where bilateral talks will take place first.
Prior to the “coalition of the willing” summit, the first meeting of the anti-ballistic coalition will also take place, focusing on measures to protect Ukraine from ballistic threats, industrial cooperation, and the pooling of defense expertise among European countries and companies.
As a reminder, the head of state previously stated that Ukraine would present to its partners a project for the joint European production of the Freya system—a Ukrainian anti-ballistic system intended to be a cheaper and more widely available alternative to the Patriot system for intercepting ballistic targets. Eight countries have already joined the anti-ballistic coalition.
