French President Emmanuel Macron is no longer ruling out the use of ground troops by his country. Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression for a good two years.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also insisted in an interview with the US broadcaster CNN that new military aid for his country should be approved quickly.
