European countries should build a new security architecture on the continent together with Russia, French President Emmanuel Macron said during a joint news conference with his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto today in Helsinki, TASS agensy reported.

"We discussed many issues, including trans-Atlantic ties and relations with Russia.  We want Europe to have strategic and defense autonomy to rebuild European security architecture in a broad sense, like I said several months ago in St. Petersburg, and there is the need to reconsider our relations with Russia." Macron said.

"This wider Europe should build its security architecture with the powers, which are on its border, and the great nations, which share history with us," the French leader mentioned.
