During the meeting, the parties discussed key priorities for cooperation.

According to Oleksiy Chernyshov, this will be a significant step towards strengthening cooperation between the two countries, attracting investment to Ukraine and creating additional jobs.

"Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, France has provided temporary protection to more than 90,000 Ukrainians who were forced to flee their homes. We are grateful to France and its people for their solidarity and continued support of Ukraine," said Oleksiy Chernyshov.

He also informed Gael Veyssiere about the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of the presidential bill on the introduction of multiple citizenship in Ukraine.
