The EU will help Ukraine in reconstruction after the destruction wrought by the Russian Federation, French President Emmanuel Macron has said.

He said at a press conference following the informal summit of EU leaders at the Chateau de Versailles (France) on Friday that the EU supports Ukraine today and the EU will do so for as long as the war goes on.

The EU will be there to rebuild after the devastation caused by Russia, the EU will be there to help Ukraine stand up and stay standing, Macron said.
