Macron said France will step up support with interceptor missiles as Ukraine faces a shortage of air defenses after recent Russian strikes.

- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed he and Macron spoke for two hours on Saturday regarding air defence needs. Zelenskyy thanked the French leader for 'confirming your readiness to provide licences for the production of missiles.'
- Macron, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will co-chair a 'coalition of the willing' meeting on Monday. The leaders aim to 'reiterate their determination to strengthen their support for Ukraine' against Russian aggression.
