On set, Étienne Leenhardt returns, Tuesday, October 11, to the G7 meeting which is being held urgently after the numerous bombings in Ukraine the day before.

In the aftermath of numerous Russian strikes that fell on Ukraine, the G7 meets urgently. London calls not to weaken one iota. But in reality, what can we concretely expect from this meeting? For the head of the foreign service of France Télévisions, Étienne Leenhardt, it is above all “a show of unity behind Ukraine and behind President Zelensky”.

For Étienne Leenhardt, it is also about “to respond to President Zelensky’s main request, which is to deliver arms to him”. The journalist also explains that “the United States has announced that they will probably deliver an anti-aircraft defense system. The Ukrainians are crying out for it”. In this context, Westerners are faced with a challenge: that of continuing to support Ukraine without risking escalation, nuclear weapons being on everyone’s mind.
