Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday underlined the willingness of the international community to help Ukrainians “to resist during this winter” in the face of an acting Russia “cowardly” and whose goal is to “immerse yourself in the dark and cold”. “Russia, whose military weaknesses have been exposed, has opted for a cynical strategy aimed at destroying civilian infrastructure to bring Ukraine to its knees”he said at the opening of the conference on aid to Ukraine underway in Paris.
After the conferences in Lugano, Warsaw and Berlin in recent months, this meeting, which brings together 70 delegations from countries and international organizations, including several heads of government, aims to “practical-practical”Macron explained.
He accused Moscow of acting “cowardly” to pour “sow terror among the civilians, try to break through the rear, in order not to be able to hold the front”. “These attacks, which Russia openly admits, are only aimed at undermining the resistance of the Ukrainian people, they constitute war crimes” who “it will not go unpunished”, hammered the French head of state. Often criticized for his insistence on negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, Emmanuel Macron has made it clear that he is back in Ukraine “deciding the conditions for a just and lasting peace”. He felt it “The Ten Point Peace Plan” of his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, it was “an excellent foundation on which we will build together”.
More “the immediate emergency is to support the resilience of the Ukrainian people”he recalled, hoping for international contributions “up to the challenge”. He announced further French aid, in 2023, of 76.5 million euros to spend the winter, “in the field of electricity and energy” especially for acquiring LEDs.
