France will provide an additional 2 billion euros (2.2 billion U.S. dollars) in aid for Ukraine, President Emmanuel Macron announced on Wednesday.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Macron reaffirmed France's commitment to a lasting peace. Zelensky arrived in Paris for talks with Macron ahead of Thursday's summit of the "coalition of the willing."
The summit will focus on short-term military support for Ukraine and explore ways European countries can offer long-term security guarantees to bolster Ukraine's defense. (1 euro = 1.08 U.S. dollar)
