    French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Paris on Wednesday evening ahead of a key international summit on Ukraine’s security. As part of the discussions, Macron announced a €2 billion military aid package for Ukraine, reinforcing France’s commitment to supporting the country’s defense against Russian aggression.

    France Increases Military Support to Ukraine

    During a joint press conference, Macron detailed the military assistance included in the latest aid package. France will provide:

    • Milan anti-tank missiles
    • MICA missiles for Mirage fighter jets
    • Mistral air defense missiles
    • Drones, armored vehicles, and ammunition

    The aid package aims to strengthen Ukraine’s military capabilities in the face of ongoing threats.

    Summit to Shape Ukraine’s Defense Strategy

    Macron emphasized that Thursday’s summit will play a crucial role in defining Ukraine’s long-term military strategy. The meeting, part of the “Coalition of the Willing,” will bring together countries committed to ensuring Ukraine’s security and stability. Leaders will focus on bolstering Ukraine’s ability to resist future attacks and strengthening its defensive infrastructure.

    Peacekeepers to Hold Defensive Positions

    Addressing the role of international peacekeepers, Macron ruled out deploying them to front-line combat zones. Instead, he suggested they could secure bases or strategic towns behind the front lines. The priority, he said, remains on Ukraine’s military buildup, with peacekeeping forces considered a secondary option.

    Zelenskyy Calls for Continued US Support

    During the press conference, Zelenskyy stressed the importance of sustained US assistance. He referenced recent discussions with US officials in Saudi Arabia that helped unlock vital aid and intelligence.

    “We hope America can enforce the partial ceasefire,” Zelenskyy stated, highlighting the importance of international cooperation in stabilizing the region.

    US Brokers Black Sea Ceasefire

    On Tuesday, the US announced a ceasefire deal in the Black Sea, following negotiations with Ukraine and Russia. However, Moscow responded with conditions, stating that it would respect the agreement only if Western sanctions on Russian banks and exports were lifted.

    Macron Rejects Sanction Relief for Russia

    Macron firmly dismissed the notion of easing sanctions on Russia, calling it “far too early.” He insisted that lifting sanctions should only be considered if Russia complies with international law.

    “Peace through strength is not about removing sanctions,” Macron stated. “Russia must first demonstrate a genuine commitment to respecting international norms.”

    Zelenskyy Demands Stronger Sanctions

    Zelenskyy echoed Macron’s stance, calling for even harsher measures against Russia. “Sanctions must remain and be strengthened,” he urged. “Only diplomacy based on force is effective.”

    As Ukraine continues to fight for its sovereignty, France and its allies are reaffirming their support through military aid and strategic planning. The upcoming security summit will shape the next phase of Ukraine’s defense efforts.
