The latest statements from Macron are a "positive signal", says a well-known Western military expert.
If the United States loses leadership in helping Ukraine in the Russian war, this place could be taken by France and Britain.
This opinion was expressed by retired British army colonel, famous military expert Glen Grant in an interview with the host of the “Studio West” program Anton Borkovsky on the “Espresso” TV channel.
“Macron is trying to position himself as a leading leader. He is putting significant pressure on others to support Ukraine, which is a positive thing, since someone should have taken such measures a long time ago “Olav Scholz tends to speak loudly, but without much consequence, while Macron's actions in the past have also not always matched his rhetoric. So we need to wait and see whether his recent statements will translate into concrete actions,” he noted.
In his opinion, Britain remains active and seeks to play a leading role in supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.
“As for Britain, despite its lack of military resources, it still has considerable financial capabilities. Foreign Secretary Cameron recently visited Germany , to negotiate the purchase of long-range missiles. We see that the UK remains active and keen to play a leading role in the current effort. However, the future remains uncertain. Despite much talk, there have been no significant positive actions affecting the front line, with the exception of the Czech purchase ammunition,” the Western colonel emphasized, emphasizing that now “we are in a period of uncertainty.
Recall that Polish Prime Minister Tusk sharply addressed the Speaker of the House of Representatives Johnson because of the delay in aid to Ukraine.
