Macron did not specify the number of generators in question and when they would be sent.
“After the G7 meeting, which was co-chaired by France, generators will be sent to Ukraine to help the population survive the winter. France’s position is clear: we will support Ukraine as long as necessary so that it can defend itself and prevent the aggressive war waged by Russia,” he wrote on the social network Kh.
Macron also said that Ukraine can also count on France as part of the “Coalition of the Willing”.
“We continue to work on creating conditions for a just and durable peace that guarantees the security of Ukraine and Europe. We reviewed the negotiations that began last week in Abu Dhabi. We agreed that Europeans should be fully involved in discussions that concern them,” he wrote, adding that France remains determined to increase pressure on Russia as long as “it refuses to commit to peace.”
Zelenskyy has not reported on this conversation so far.
After the meeting of the G7+ group on energy support for Ukraine on January 23, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal announced that
France will provide more than 100 generators with a total capacity of 13 MW.
