Zelensky is planning security agreements with France – and meetings with Scholz. Ukraine has been seeking NATO membership for a long time.
After Russia's attack on the neighboring country on February 24, 2022, Kiev submitted an accelerated application to join the defense alliance. However, NATO has so far rejected accession negotiations, citing the continued war. The two also want to talk about the situation on the front, Ukraine's military, economic and humanitarian needs and the EU accession talks.
