French President Emmanuel Macron said that France would provide Ukraine with military equipment, Reuters reported.

The head of state also indicated that France intends to speed up the deployment of its military in Romania.

Ukraine will also receive financial assistance from France in the amount of €300 million.

In addition to the sanctions package within the EU, France intends to impose its own sanctions against Russia. This was previously stated by French President Emmanuel Macron.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a military special operation in the Donbass in response to a request for help from the heads of the LPR and DPR. Ukraine severed diplomatic relations with Russia. The decision to conduct the operation was the reason for new sanctions against Russia by the United States and its allies.

Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, during a press conference following the extraordinary EU summit, said that the second package of EU sanctions is aimed, including at the energy sector of Russia.
