French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed Wednesday that the European Union would intensify pressure on Russia through additional sanctions and bolster military support for Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 17 people had been killed in overnight strikes, Anadolu Agency reports.
“In Kyiv and its surrounding region, Russia has once again chosen to target civilians. This policy of terror, carried out through missile and drone strikes, is unacceptable,” Macron wrote on US social media company X.
He stressed that Russia must pay the price and be held accountable “for its crimes,” adding that they would not yield to fatigue or intimidation and would continue standing alongside Ukraine.
“The European Union and its partners will continue to increase pressure on Russia, notably through new sanctions, while strengthening military support for Ukraine so that it can defend itself and protect its population,” Macron added.
