France and Germany summon Russian ambassadors over alleged cyber attacks as Macron hosts leaders for Ukraine talks – Europe live

French president hosts ‘coalition of the willing’ in Paris amid hopes that Ukraine’s recent advances could force Putin towards negotiations

Meanwhile, Germany joined France (10:14) in summoning the Russian ambassador to Berlin over what the EU alleges were Russian cyber-attacks against several EU countries and Ukraine (10:38, 10:52).

The German foreign ministry said the attacks were unacceptable and would be met with decisive actions, Reuters reported.

“Every single day of this war that Russia is waging against life only proves that supporting Ukraine is the right thing to do from every perspective – defence, political, and simply human. And everyone around the world sees it.

They see that Ukraine needs more air defence, more protection for people’s lives, and that the Russian authorities have gone insane over this war and are completely irrational in refusing to end it.
