Quote from Barrot: "A Russian victory would be a consecration for the law of the strongest and would push the international order toward chaos. That is why our exchanges should allow us to make progress on President Zelenskyy’s victory plan and rally the greatest number possible of countries around it."

Details: Barrot also emphasised that Ukrainian resistance is "also holding a front line that separates Europe from Vladimir Putin’s Russia, that separates freedom from oppression".

Background: 

  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has presented his five-point Victory Plan. The first point calls for an immediate invitation for Ukraine to join NATO.
  • Commenting on the Victory Plan, the White House said that there is no consensus within NATO regarding Ukraine's accession to the Alliance. 
  • US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has said that Ukraine's NATO membership requires appropriate reforms and the fulfilment of security conditions.
