PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday said that a long-anticipated Ukrainian counter-offensive against occupying Russian forces had started, and he promised more military aid to the Kyiv government.
“We have intensified the delivery of ammunitions, weapons and armed vehicles... We’ll continue in coming days and weeks,” said Mr Macron, who in recent days said he had spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, confirming the start of the counter-offensive. The three-way meeting in Paris was meant to send a signal of unity between eastern and western Europe, after Warsaw took on a major logistical and diplomatic role in helping Ukraine, while often castigating German and French leaders for being too slow.
