How to get the current page on vp?

Question

WordPress

I try like this, but some kind of nonsense ($ paged)

<?php

                       	$paged = get_permalink();
                      $args = [
              'total'        => $query->max_num_pages,
              'end_size'     => 2,
              'mid_size'     => 2,
              'prev_next'    => True,
              'prev_text'    => __(''),
              'next_text'    => __(''),
              'paged' => $paged
            ];
echo paginate_links( $args );
