UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron stated at a press conference in Paris on Friday that they agreed on joint training of Ukrainian marines.

Both leaders announced this at a joint press conference, which was broadcast by the Sky News channel. Macron said that Paris and London are "doing everything" so that the war does not spread to other parts of the world.

"We have decided on concrete action together on the training of Ukrainian military and high value segments," he added.

In turn, the UK Prime Minister underlined that the UK and France are working together so Vladimir Putin can "never again" weaponise the West's energy.

"We've agreed to train Ukrainian marines, helping to give Ukraine a decisive advantage on the battlefield and for Ukraine to win this war," Sunak said.

Also, as previously announced, the leaders of the UK and France agreed to cooperate in the development of high-precision strike weapons to combat the Russian threat.

Last year, the UK launched its own Interflex mission to train and support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. France also independently trains Ukrainians, but on a smaller scale.
