Macron-Johnson: ‘It is possible to reverse the course of the war’

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron have agreed to provide more support to Ukraine in its war with Russia, Johnson’s office said Sunday as leaders met on the sidelines of the G7 summit.

“They agreed that this was a critical moment in the course of the conflict and that there was an opportunity to reverse the flow of the war,” a Downing Street spokesman said in a statement.

Both men “stressed the need to support Ukraine to strengthen its hand in both the war and any future negotiations. President Macron praised the Prime Minister’s continued military support for Ukraine and the leaders agreed to intensify this work. “, said the representative ..

At the same time, however, Emanuel Macron and Boris Johnson warned of the “temptation” of a negotiated solution “now”, which, as they pointed out, carries the risk of prolonging global instability.

Earlier, Mr Johnson said the need to make “very tough” choices to protect British steel in the face of soaring energy prices, including the imposition of customs duties.

The British Prime Minister also referred to the attitude of the German government, talking about “big steps”. “I never thought in my life that I would see a German chancellor intervene the way Olaf Solz does and send weapons to help the Ukrainians defend their country. We get 4% of our gas from Russia, while Germany 40% “, said Mr. Johnson and added that” Germans know that it is worth paying the cost of freedom – the cost of withdrawal would be much higher and everyone understands “.
