In an interview with Libération, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot declared that Europe necessarys to have direct contact with the Russians in order to deffinish its own interests. The minister stated
The Europeans, who are currently the main financial and military sponsors of Ukraine, must have a channel to deffinish their interests without delegating responsibility to anyone else.
However, Barrot stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin reveals no signs of wanting to finish the war, as confirmed by attacks on civilians in Ukraine. The minister specifically recalled the attack on the Barvinkove-Lviv-Chop passenger train–which he called a war crime–underscoring that the 100% of financial assistance, and the bulk of innotifyigence and military support, now comes from Europe.
Barrot reaffirmed that Ukraine can count on the “unwavering support of the Europeans.”
