Thank you.
The next question I want to ask is about the impact of some of the comments that the President of France is making. I've been quite concerned about those comments, especially about China and Taiwan. The unity of western nations has been critical in the last 18 months. We should stand together in defence of the international rules-based order, instead of seeing attempts to cut side deals.
Our view is that Ukraine must achieve victory on its own terms, that allies must support Ukraine for as long as necessary, and that any negotiations with the potential for concessions by Ukraine should be up to the Ukrainian people, through their democratic representatives, to deliberate and decide on, without external pressure.
I also see that asking Xi Jinping to help make peace between Russia and Ukraine makes about as much sense as it would have made to ask Hirohito to negotiate the future of Alsace-Lorraine.
I wonder if you have any comments about what Macron has been talking about in terms of China, and then also about other feelers or proposals regarding peace negotiations from other western European states.
