French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said that 100% of financial aid to Ukraine comes from Europe, but Paris has never ruled out dialogue with Russia.

Europe needs direct contact with Russia in order to defend its own interests, Liberation reports.

“Europeans, who are now the main financial and military sponsors of Ukraine, must have a channel to defend their interests without delegating responsibility to anyone else,” he said.

According to France's observations, Putin has not yet shown any signs of a real desire to move towards peace. This is confirmed, in particular, by the Russian Federation's recent shelling of the civilian population. Among them is the shelling of the Barvinkovo-Lviv-Chop passenger train, which Barro called a war crime.

He assured Ukraine of his support during the war.

“Today, 100% of financial aid to Ukraine comes from Europe. Most of the intelligence and military support also comes from Europe. Ukraine knows that it can count on the unwavering support of Europeans,” he said.
