He drew attention to the fact that further support to Ukraine should become a priority for all its allies.
In addition, Emmanuel Macron urged the international community not to forget about the actual entry of North Korea into the war against Ukraine on the side of the Russian Federation.
The French leader emphasized that this is a serious escalation.
The security of our citizens requires a strong Ukraine, a strong Europe and a strong Alliance. We will continue to call for NATO and allies to provide all necessary support to Ukraine for as long as necessary. This is the only way to negotiations. And I want to clearly emphasize that nothing should be decided about Ukraine without Ukrainians and about Europe without Europeans.

According to the head of the French Foreign Ministry, Jean-Noel Barro, the new US President Donald Trump will not abandon Ukraine to its own devices against the background of the war of aggression waged by Russia.
According to diplomats, the Republican leader is "too wise to agree to what will be the largest territorial annexation in the last 75 years."
