Quote: "I told both President Macron and President Trump: first and foremost, you will see – Putin does not want this war to end. Therefore, he must be forced. He can only be forced if Ukraine is strong. A strong Ukraine, in the context of any diplomacy, means a strong military on the battlefield. It means a strong army, weapons packages, long-range systems, including, of course, ATACMS, Taurus, Storm Shadow, and SCALP missiles. 

All of this is critically important for us. And yes, it is exclusively for strikes on military targets, and we emphasise this."
