"Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the Elysee Palace to meet with Emmanuel Macron on Monday - for the second time in two weeks - following Ukraine's talks with the US side at the weekend, and the ongoing corruption scandal engulfing Kiev's government. Footage shows Macron giving Zelensky a huge hug. The Ukrainian leader visited just two weeks ago, when the sides signed a preliminary agreemen arms purchases including 100 Rafale fighter jets for Ukraine’s Air Force. It is Zelensky’s tenth visit to France since the start of the Ukraine conflict. Zelensky's all-powerful chief of staff Andrey Yermak quit on Friday after anti-corruption cops raided his offices amid the ongoing 'golden toilet' energy scandal. The Ukrainian leader said he would be 'rebooting his office'. The 'golden toilet' corruption row engulfing the government saw tens of millions 'skimmed' from energy contracts. Critics claimed Yermak was the 'Ali Baba' named in wiretapped conversations linked to the probe. The aforementioned golden toilet was found in the bathroom of another Zelensky ally, Timur Mindich, said to have been the mastermind - while the plot has already brought down both the energy and justice ministers. Yermak and Zelensky have not been accused of wrongdoing at time of publication."
