French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu is expected to host his European counterparts next week to discuss support for Ukraine, Agence France Presse reported on Friday, citing an aide.

According to the report, the defense ministers from the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Poland are expected to meet Lecornu in Paris next Wednesday, one day after French President Emanuel Macron meets army chiefs from European countries willing to send their troops to Ukraine after any potential peace deal with Russia.

"In view of a recent American decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine, the ministers will discuss coordinating action of our countries in support of Kyiv," the source close to Lecornu said, according to the report. "They will also discuss necessary rearmament of Europe and our respective countries, which is essential to guarantee our collective security in the long term," the source reportedly added.
