PARIS (Reuters) - Europe is at a turning point in terms of its relations with the United States which forces Europe more than ever before to defend Ukraine and boost its defence spending, said French government minister Manuel Valls on Monday.
"We are at a turning point," Valls told France Info radio.
"This forces us more than ever before to support our defence for Ukraine, and to increase our defence spending budget and to be on the front foot," added Valls, who is France's overseas territories minister and a former prime minister.
