French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday that he will go to London on Monday to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, along with the British Prime Minister and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, for the purpose of discussing the situation in Ukraine and the ongoing negotiations under American mediation.
He added on the X platform, “Ukraine can count on our unwavering support. This is the essence of the efforts we made within the framework of the Coalition of the Willing.”
Macron added, "We will continue these efforts with the Americans to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, as a strong and lasting peace cannot be achieved without them, because what is at stake in Ukraine also relates to the security of all of Europe."
He condemned "in the strongest terms" the strikes targeting Ukraine last night, especially its energy and railway infrastructure.
