France, Ukraine in months-old talks over minerals: French defence minister
Paris has been in talks with Kyiv since October about using Ukrainian minerals for France's defence industry, French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Thursday.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday expressed the “emotion of a whole nation” on seeing the famed Notre-Dame cathedral ablaze and its spire collapse.
“Notre-Dame consumed by flames. Emotion of a whole nation,” Macron tweeted, adding that “like all my compatriots I am sad to see a part of us burn this evening” and expressing solidarity with “all Catholics and all French people.”
