Macron says Europe will defend freedom with 'blood' as Coalition of the Willing meets on Ukraine

04:35 Min

French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe is ready to defend freedom at the cost of "blood". He was speaking just before a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and at least 25 heads of state from the Coalition of the Willing, which seeks to fire military support for Ukraine four and a half years into a Russian invasion. Discussions will focus on seeking defence commitment, with shortages leaving Ukraine increasingly vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks. Officials also set to talk about security guarantees post-conflict. Ross Cullen reports from Paris.
