Volodymyr Zelensky received in Paris by Emmanuel Macron

Volodymyr Zelensky left Monday, May 15 in the morning of Paris, in an ultra-secure convoy. We do not know its direction, perhaps Orly airport. He arrived yesterday aboard a French government plane at the Vélizy-Villacoublay air base (Yvelines), shortly before 9 p.m. Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne as well as by Catherine Colonna, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. A surprise visit which was announced only two hours before.

A dinner of more than three hours

Volodymyr Zelensky was then received at the Elysée, where Emmanuel Macron was waiting for him. They then spent a dinner together that lasted more than three hours, including one hour alone. The rest of his program is unknown: we do not know if he will meet other European leaders or if he will go directly to kyiv, explains the journalist from France Télévisions, Guillemette Halard.
