French President Emmanuel Macron said he would travel to London on Monday to meet Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as the British and German leaders, to discuss the situation in Ukraine and ongoing negotiations under US mediation.

“Ukraine can count on our unwavering support. That is the whole point of the efforts we have undertaken as part of the Coalition of the Willing,” Macron said on X.

“We will continue these efforts alongside the Americans to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, without which there can be no robust and lasting peace. For what is at stake in Ukraine is also the security of Europe as a whole,” he added.

Macron also condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the strikes that targeted Ukraine last night, in particular its energy and rail infrastructure.

“Russia is locked into an escalatory approach and is not seeking peace … We must continue to put pressure on Russia to force it to make peace,” he added.
