Details: Zelenskyy noted that he did not attend the summit in Paris earlier this week, where the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine was discussed.

"He [Macron] said he would talk about some new ideas on how to strengthen Ukraine. And he said that he would share the information with me when he arrives in Ukraine. I think he officially said in the media that he would be there in mid-March," he added.

Zelenskyy expressed hope that during the meeting, Macron would share with him the details of his proposal, "and I will happily answer such questions."

"But the most important thing to understand is that when we share different initiatives, they are all like the second, third or fourth step. And the first step is to protect and remain strong," Zelenskyy stressed.
