French President Emmanuel Macron held a phone call on Sunday with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.

During the phone call, Macron reaffirmed Paris' commitment to provide "all necessary assistance to Ukraine to restore its sovereignty and territorial integrity."

On his part, Zelensky said that he and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron had a phone call on April 30, discussing Ukraine's peace formula and the situation on the frontline, according to the President's Office.

Both agreed on “additional solutions” that would strengthen Ukraine's potential on the battlefield.
