French President Emmanuel Macron is ramping up pressure on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to take a stronger stance in support of Ukraine with a dire warning of the “existential” threat Russia poses to the European Union.

The two leaders will meet with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Berlin later Friday to discuss how to better provide aid to Ukraine, particularly military equipment.
