He said the situation ahead of the talks “is extremely serious, not only for Ukraine, but also for Europe.” “Europe must be present at the negotiating table when European issues are discussed,” he added.

"The main objective of tomorrow's meeting is to present a united front between Ukraine and its European allies," the French president added, according to Sky News.

He warned that"the weakness shown towards Russia lays the foundation for future conflicts," and "the structure of the Ukrainian army is the first pillar of security guarantees for the country."

Macron also said that the coalition wants Ukraine's territorial integrity to be respected.
