Those who put “limits” on support for Ukraine are “choosing defeat,” the French president said
“If the situation worsens” in Ukraine, “we must be ready and we will be ready to make the decisions that are required so that Russia never wins,” French President Emmanuel Macron said this evening during a televised interview on the France 2 and TF1 television networks.
The “security” of the French presupposes the “defeat of Russia” in Ukraine, he said, estimating that those who put “limits” on support for Ukraine are “choosing defeat.”
The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France,” Macron said. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility will be reduced to zero” and “we will no longer have security”, he underlined.
President Macron, whose statements in late February about the possible deployment of Western troops to Ukraine sparked a storm of political backlash in France and abroad, said however that “we will never attack, we will never take the initiative”.
But “against the escalation” of Moscow, “we have to say that we are ready to respond”, he added.
