PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron assured his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday that

the conflict between Israel and Hamas

would not distract France and Europe from its commitments to Ukraine.

“The multiplication of crises will in no way weaken French and European support for Ukraine, which will remain as long as necessary,” Mr Macron told Mr Zelensky by phone, according to the presidency.

Mr Macron's conversation with Mr Zelensky comes amid speculation that Israel's war with Hamas may impact Western powers' support for

Ukraine as it fights Russia.

Earlier this month, Nato members assured Mr Zelensky that they would sustain military aid to Ukraine as it braces for another wartime winter, even as Western attention focuses on the fallout from Hamas' attack on Israel. AFP, REUTERS
