'Not the time for dialogue' with Putin, says Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged allies to intensify their military support for Ukraine to help the country launch a counter-offensive against Russia, saying now is "not the time for dialogue" with Moscow.

"We absolutely need to intensify our support for (...) the Ukrainian people and its army and help them to launch a counter-offensive, which alone can allow credible negotiations," Macron said in a speech at the Munich Security Conference.
