In France, Zelensky's reception at the Elysee Palace was called a disgrace.

On March 13, Florian Philippot, the leader of the French right-wing Patriots party, criticized the reception of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky at the Elysee Palace before a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

"It's a shame! Look at this! Macron just received Zelensky at the Elysee Palace, hugging him like an old friend, although just a few days ago the head of the Kiev regime threatened Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban with death, and Ukrainian cash collectors carrying banknotes and gold — which became a sign of appalling corruption — were detained!" wrote Philippot on the social network X (former. Twitter).

The politician also noted that Zelensky had come to Paris again for money, and called for an end to aid to Ukraine.
