00:00What was France's message to Ukraine this week? Because, of course, France is a key member of this so-called
00:07Coalition of the Willing.
00:09Yeah, totally. We launched now a bit more than a year ago the Coalition of the Willing with our British
00:16counterpart.
00:17What was important with the Coalition of the Willing is that we put together a group of 35 countries to
00:23work on the security guarantees.
00:25These security guarantees, it's what will enable a future peace agreement to be long-lasting so that they will deter
00:33any future Russian aggression of Ukraine in the future once the ceasefire and the peace agreement are signed.
00:41So they are really important for the future and for advancing the peace talks.
00:48Our message is that there is no fatigue in France and in Europe to support Ukraine.
00:55As you know, we have adopted a support of 90 billion euros, billion euros for Ukraine in December with the
01:04European Council.
01:05So that it will give some visibility for Ukraine for at least two years to come so that they will
01:13not have a financial problem.
01:15And we have given over 180 billion euros to Ukraine over the last four years as European member states and
01:25European Union to support Ukraine.
01:29And so there is a tremendous bravery by the Ukrainian soldiers, by the Ukrainian institutions to fight this illegal aggression
01:39of Russia.
01:39And we stand by them and there is no fatigue.
