U.S. President Joe Biden held a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Dec. 1, during which they condemned Russia’s illegal war and said they would further support Ukraine’s energy sector and provide more air defense systems.

The U.S. and French presidents reaffirmed support for Ukraine “as long as it takes.”
