Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy travels to Paris to meet European leaders to discuss continued support for Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion, now in its fifth year. The talks focus on assistance aimed at protecting Ukraine and addressing Kyiv’s stated needs, including air defense. Multiple reports say Zelenskyy is engaging with a broad group of European partners in Paris, involving foreign and political leaders who support efforts to help Ukraine respond to Russia’s military campaign.

Separately, European foreign ministers meet in Brussels to discuss Ukraine-related needs and potential risks to European security. Together, the meetings reflect ongoing diplomatic coordination among European countries on how to sustain and adjust support for Ukraine’s defense as the conflict continues. The outlets do not provide further details on specific commitments or changes to aid in the excerpts, but they describe the Paris and Brussels sessions as part of a wider effort by European leaders to coordinate strategy and resources.
