" ;You are talking about an unofficial agreement, but this is almost the official position of NATO partners that we are helping Ukraine defend itself, but we are not going to war with Russia", he said during a conversation with Ukrainian journalists.
According to the French leader, Kyiv is aware of these agreements. Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi arrived on Thursday in Ukraine, where they met with Vladimir Zelensky. Russia has already sent a note to all countries, including the United States, due to arms supplies to Ukraine . Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo that contains weapons for Kyiv will become a legitimate target for Russia.
