One hundred and twenty years after the Entente Cordiale, Britain and France are forging a new alliance, writes Amelia Hadfield, Head of Department of Politics at the University of Surrey.

The original 1904 agreement paved the way for a stronger relationship between the two countries, but this time the nations aim to use their partnership to patch up European commitment to Ukraine and exert pressure on the US.

The UK and France partnership on Ukraine has the potential to add pressure to European groups and transatlantic forums to which they both belong, in order to try and secure Europe’s borders and to make sure Ukraine has the military power to continue to push back against Russia’s territorial landgrab.

@0x815 fair enough. If USA did it when it invaded Iraq, I cannot see a reason Europe won't do it when it comes for helping Ukraine. If the lunatic comes to the White House, then Europe will be on its own against Russia anyway.
