1. President Emmanuel Macron welcomes his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy
STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the Elysee Palace in Paris on Wednesday ahead of a meeting of the "coalition of the willing."
Macron, who has been driving the coalition-building effort with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is expecting 31 delegations around the table Thursday morning at the presidential Elysee Palace.
That’s more than Macron gathered for a first meeting in Paris in February — evidence that the coalition to help Ukraine, possibly with boots on the ground, is gathering steam, according to the presidential office.
Their collective name, “coalition of the willing,” suggests that the loose grouping of Ukraine’s allies certainly wants to help.
But as the nearly three dozen nations gather again for more talks in Paris, it is still far from clear exactly what kind of aid they are preparing that could contribute toward their goal of making any ceasefire with Russia lasting.
