The gathering of politicians, blue-chip companies and aid agencies comes after fresh controversial comments about the war from French President Macron.
France hosts an international conference Tuesday designed to raise material and money to repair Ukraine's damaged infrastructure as well as underline Paris' ongoing support for Kyiv's fight against Russia.
The gathering of politicians, blue-chip companies and aid agencies comes after fresh comments about the war from French President Emmanuel Macron which put him at odds with many in Ukraine.
Macron called for Russia to be offered "security guarantees" at the end of the war during an interview on December 3, drawing criticism from some Ukrainian and eastern European politicians.
A call between the French leader and Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday cleared the air and saw the men discuss Tuesday's conference.
