Macron says Russian defeat in Ukraine vital for security in Europe
French President Emmanuel Macron has said it is key for Europe’s security to defeat Russia in Ukraine, amid urgent pleas for more weapons from Kyiv.
He was speaking in Paris where he said that European leaders had agreed to set up a coalition to give Ukraine medium- and long-range missiles and bombs.
He added that there was “no consensus” on sending Western troops to Ukraine but “nothing should be excluded”.
Russian troops made recent gains in Ukraine which faces big arms shortages.
