French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday (25 November) that France, together with other European Union member states, will finalise a mechanism in the coming days to provide financial support to Ukraine, using frozen Russian assets as a key component.
Macron noted that these assets serve both as a funding source and as a means of maintaining pressure on Moscow.
Speaking after a virtual meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, the French leader stressed that Ukraine requires a peace that is “serious”, “durable”, and fully aligned with international law.
Macron also emphasised that preventing any future aggression demands a strong Ukrainian army. He said that discussions in Geneva confirmed there should be no limitations on Ukraine’s military capabilities. According to Macron, France and the United Kingdom will launch a new working group from Wednesday, with Türkiye – which plays a crucial role in maritime security – and, for the first time, the United States joining the initiative. The group is expected to define individual contributions and finalise security guarantees that will act as a “second layer” of support for Ukraine’s forces.
Ukraine, meanwhile, signalled on Tuesday that it supports the general framework of a potential peace agreement with Russia. However, officials in Kyiv stressed that sensitive issues must be resolved during a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.
