French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot is to visit Ukraine this weekend to reaffirm French support in the fight against Russian aggression, Le Monde reports.
"I am going to Ukraine to convey the voice of France, to remind that France does not turn away from any crisis, to say that the security of our continent is at stake, including food security and energy," Barrot said.
He also stressed that there is also a "humanitarian catastrophe" at stake in Ukraine, specifying that "he will devote part of this trip to the fate of the children of Ukraine, in particular the children abducted and deported by the Russians."
Barrot is due to leave on Friday afternoon and spend the weekend in Ukraine, where he will meet with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.
