Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told AFP Thursday he believes France will continue to support his country on the battlefield, even as the upcoming French parliamentary vote could usher Ukraine-sceptic parties into power.

"We believe that the French will continue to support Ukraine regardless of the political situation," the Ukrainian leader told AFP in written comments, adding: "We are confident that the next government will be independent from the Russian aggressor and will remain true to European values and a strong and united Europe."
