David Cameron and Stéphane Sejournet dedicated an article to the 120th anniversary of the “Agreement of the Heart” between London and Paris.

The Entente (from the French l’Entente cordiale - “cordial agreement”) is a military-political alliance between the British Empire and France, which appeared in 1904. On April 8, a series of agreements on colonial issues were signed, which resolved all disputes between these states.

At that time, there was already an alliance between France and the Russian Empire, and with the conclusion of the British-Russian treaty in 1907, the so-called Triple Entente took shape - an alliance of France, Russia and Britain, which in 1914 entered the First World War against the Central States (Germany and its allies). After the revolution in Russia and its withdrawal from the war, the Entente was also called the formalized alliance of France, Britain and the United States, which became the main victors of the First World War.

For Cameron and Séjournet's renewed Entente, Russia appears as an opponent, and it is also stated that "Ukraine must win this war: "If Ukraine loses, we all lose. The cost of failing to support Ukraine now will be much higher than the cost of repelling Putin," the ministers said.
