So now we work with France and with some other allies, and I hope that we will, we can count in the nearest future soon, we can count on our strong guys.

STORYLINE:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday in Paris for another stop on his recent bout of city-hopping across Europe.
Zelenskyy’s aim is to bring support for Ukraine in it’s ongoing conflict with Russia.
After the meeting, Zelenskyy spoke to the press and insisted he had not come to discuss a "cease fire" but to look at the situation facing his troops in the eastern regions of Ukraine.
His meeting with Macron follows discussions with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
Macron recently met Ukrainian troops being trained in France.
The Ukrainian leader had been due to present his blueprint at a weekend meeting of Western leaders and defense ministers in Germany, but it was postponed because Biden said he had to stay home to respond to Hurricane Milton’s landfall in Florida.
Zelenskyy will travel later Thursday to Rome for talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
He also has a half-hour audience on Friday with Pope Francis, the Vatican said.
Later Friday, he’ll be meeting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin.
