French President Emmanuel Macron says France will send aid to Ukraine “within the next few hours” after the destruction of a dam triggered flooding and fears of a humanitarian disaster.

“France condemns this atrocious act, which is endangering populations. Within the next few hours, we will send aid to meet immediate needs,” Macron writes on Twitter.
