In a series of diplomatic engagements, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy communicated with French President Emmanuel Macron, expressing gratitude towards France for its steadfast support amidst the ongoing conflict. The discussions, described as positive and focused, revolved around Ukraine's defense needs, including the provision of drones and artillery. Subsequently, France committed to producing and transferring dozens of Caesar artillery systems to Ukraine, a move facilitated by the "Artillery Coalition" formed by France and the United States. However, amidst these developments, President Macron's planned visit to Ukraine on February 13 and 14 was postponed due to security concerns. The decision, which was intended to include a stop in Odessa, has prompted discussions among French and Ukrainian diplomats regarding its implications.
