Friday March 15, the French and German heads of state reiterated their support for Ukraine during a summit devoted to the war with Russia, an adversary they do not intend to let win.
Gathered in Berlin (Germany), Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz, the German Chancellor, spoke about the situation in Ukraine on Friday March 15. They wanted to show their unity. “We will continue to support, as long as necessary, Ukraine and its people, and we will continue, as since the first day, not to take any escalatory initiative,” assured the French president at the end of the meeting. .
“Unity is strength”
After a few days of tension following Emmanuel Macron’s comments on a possible sending of troops to Ukraine, Europe is regaining its unity. “Solidarity and common action are essential to defend peace and freedom in Europe. It is more true than ever: unity is strength,” summarized the German Chancellor. Now the goal is to increase production, in Europe and Ukraine, and supply more weapons. Furthermore, a new capability coalition for long-range artillery systems was announced.
