Macron promised new sanctions against Russia for the attacks on Kyiv

French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Russia must be held accountable for its crimes, and that the European Union will intensify sanctions against Russia and increase military aid to Ukraine. 

He emphasized that the latest missile and drone strikes against the civilian population in Kyiv and the Kyiv region constitute an unacceptable policy of terror.

The French leader stressed that Western partners will not succumb to fatigue or intimidation. The European Union and its partners will continue to provide support to Ukraine so that it can effectively defend itself and its citizens.
