French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu emphasized the importance of strengthening Ukraine’s military, stating, “There is growing consensus that Ukraine’s first and foremost security guarantee is its army.”
He also mentioned that approximately 15 countries have expressed interest in keeping this initiative, including proposed security frameworks to facilitate a ceasefire in Ukraine.
