French President Emmanuel Macron declared on Monday the formation of a new coalition aimed at providing Ukraine with extended-range missiles and ammunition. He emphasized that the possibility of deploying Western ground forces to engage in combat in Ukraine should not be dismissed.

"There is no consensus today to send ground troops... but nothing should be excluded. We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war," Macron said after a meeting of European leaders in Paris.

He stated that the newly formed coalition would be established to deliver "medium and long-range missiles and bombs" to Ukraine, further stating, "We firmly believe that Russia's defeat is essential for the security and stability of Europe."

"Battered and bruised, but still standing. Ukraine is fighting for itself, for its ideals, for our Europe. Our commitment at its side will not waver," he wrote in a message on X marking the second anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine.

A separate statement from Macron's office touted the European Union's support for Kiev, including accepting refugees, offering civil and military aid, and imposing additional sanctions against Moscow.

"President Putin's Russia must not count on any fatigue from Europeans," the statement said.

"France is also committed to continuing its support on all fronts, including the supply of military equipment, cooperation between defense industries through the development of co-productions, training, intelligence, and civilian aid," it added.

"The outcome of this war will be decisive for European interests, values and security."

The French pledge of support came as other key Ukrainian allies renewed their commitment to assisting Kiev.
