Emmanuel Macron reaffirms that “operations on the ground” may be necessary. “The strength of France is that we can do it,” he added.

In the German capital, Emmanuel Macron met with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in a show of unity between the three countries. He assured that he would meet President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ukraine before mid-March, a trip which had already been scheduled once for the month of February and then postponed.
