France, Germany and Poland back Ukraine’s counteroffensive in a show of unity

Associated Press  

PARIS — The leaders of France, Germany and Poland met in Paris Monday for talks focusing on military support for Ukraine’s counteroffensive and future security guarantees to be given to the country, ahead of a NATO summit in July. French President Emmanuel Macron said “the Ukrainian counteroffensive began several days ago,” in a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Poland’s President Andrzej Duda at the Elysee presidential palace. This victory, in my deepest feeling, will be the ousting of Russian military forces from all occupied territories.” The three leaders refused to be drawn on the detail of future security guarantees for Ukraine over the longer term. He said he was expecting “the clear invitation to membership for Ukraine” and “security guarantees on the way to NATO membership” in Vilnius.
