Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron has reiterated France's unwavering support for Ukraine, emphasizing the critical link between Europe's security and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Macron's comments came after a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlighting the importance of Ukraine's fate to the broader European community.

According to Anadolu Agency, Macron stated on X that the security, freedom, and future of Europe are intrinsically connected to Ukraine's situation. He assured that France, alongside its partners, will continue to support the Ukrainian people. This commitment was underscored during the recent Summit of the Coalition of the Willing, co-chaired by Macron and Prime Minister Starmer. The summit saw the participation of 30 global leaders, including representatives from the United States for the first time.

The coalition, as noted by Macron, is actively working to increase pressure on Russia to achieve an unconditional ceasefire and initiate negotiations aimed at establishing a robust and lasting peace. Macron also praised the European Union for its adoption of a new sanctions package against Russia, describing it as 'unprecedented.'

Macron urged for the immediate cessation of Russian attacks, asserting that France will steadfastly stand with Ukraine in both difficult times and hopeful moments.
