Paris, France - January 24, 2025 French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Friday at the end of a meeting with his Spanish counterpart, José Manuel Albares, that French, Spanish and Europeans must get used to assume “a more important part” of the burden for security in relation to the conflict in Ukraine. (Camera: EDGAR SAPIÑA MANCHADO.) STATEMENTS BY JEAN-NOËL BARROT, FRENCH MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: The French, the Spanish and all Europeans have to get used to the idea that they will have to assume a major part of the security burden of the European continent. France, with other member countries, continues to ask for this agreement to have the safeguard clauses that we already have in other agreements to protect certain sectors, as we have done since the war started in Ukraine.
