French President Emmanuel Macron promised that France would continue to provide Ukraine with humanitarian, economic and military assistance and strengthen European unity to strengthen pressure on Russia and prevent its victory in this country, the Voice of America reports.
“We cannot allow Russia to win a military victory in the war,” Macron said, speaking to the French ambassadors in the Champs Elysees.
He set a goal to give Ukraine the opportunity to win a military victory or take a strong position to achieve the “world through negotiations.” “We must prepare for a long war,” Macron said, adding that this would entail an escalation of tension around the Ukrainian nuclear power plant.
