France's new foreign minister and his German counterpart said on Sunday they would continue to support Ukraine for as long as needed, nearly two years after the crisis started.
"We are in full agreement... that we must support the Ukrainians for as long as necessary," French minister Stephane Sejourne told a press conference alongside German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
Baerbock said they would remain "on the side of Ukraine as long as necessary, until Russia has withdrawn", from Ukrainian territory.

The meeting between the two foreign ministers comes at a time when allies are struggling to secure funding and as some worry that Kyiv could be forgotten as other conflicts, such as that between Israel and Hamas, take centre stage.
Major blocks of funding, in Brussels and in Washington, have also been tied up for political reasons.
