Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a> has sought to secure access to weaponry from France<\/a>, as he looks for additional support against increasingly deadly Russian missile and drone attacks.<\/p>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron<\/a> on Monday welcomed him at Villacoublay airbase near Paris alongside a display of top French military equipment, including Dassault Rafale-made fighter jets and surface-to-air missile systems.<\/p>\n

Officials said Mr Zelenskyy is expected to strike a 10-year strategic aviation agreement that would signal the provision to Kyiv of the multi-role Rafale jets<\/a>, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

Two sources said that deals could also be reached for more SAMP\/T air-defence systems from existing French stocks, or through long-term, next-generation orders, including for missiles and anti-drone systems. Mr Zelenskyy and Mr Macron are expected to also attend a forum on the joint production of drones<\/a> at the Elysee Palace.<\/p>\n

The visit of the Ukrainian President is part of a brief tour of western allies. Mr Zelenskyy sealed an energy deal with Greece on Sunday and he is set to visit Spain on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“A historic agreement has also been prepared with France \u2013 there will be a significant strengthening of our combat aviation, air defence and other defence capabilities. According to the visit schedule, this will take place on Monday,” Mr Zelenskyy said in a post on X on Sunday.<\/p>\n

However, it remains unclear how the deals struck in France could be financed. Political and budgetary instability in Paris has raised questions over how much the country can actually do. Ukraine cannot afford such purchases on its own. <\/p>\n

In the past three years, Europe has allocated \u20ac177 billion ($205.3 billion) to Ukraine, while the US has contributed \u20ac114.6 billion, the Kiel Institute in Germany has said.<\/p>\n

A further concern for Kyiv’s allies is a corruption scandal<\/a> in Ukraine involving energy companies and members of the government. The alleged ringleader of the money laundering scheme, Timur Mindich, is reported to be close to the President.<\/p>\n

France’s Europe Minister Benjamin Haddad<\/a> said in a TV interview on Saturday that governments had to be “extraordinarily vigilant” about corruption, as Ukraine presses its case to join the EU. He added that Europe put pressure on Kyiv in the past to remain committed to the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

“Last summer, when Ukraine, through a law, decided to question the independence of certain anti-corruption agencies like Nabu [the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine] and Sapo [the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office], which are anti-corruption courts, we were extremely clear in telling Ukraine that this was not acceptable and that this law had to be reversed,” Mr Haddad said. “That is what was done.”<\/p>\n

One in nine do not have enough to eat<\/p>\n

Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.<\/p>\n

One of the organisation\u2019s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.<\/p>\n

The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.<\/p>\n

Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.<\/p>\n

It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.<\/p>\n

On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.<\/p>\n

Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.<\/p>\n
