Emmanuel Macron gave a new interview. In it, the French President noted that “he is ready to do everything possible so that Russia does not win.”

Emmanuel Macron gave an interview against the backdrop of his statement about sending French troops to Ukraine. The leader of the state noted that the importance of helping our state and supporting it in confronting Russia.

Russia should not win, – Macron

We have one goal: Russia should not and cannot win this war,” emphasized Emmanuel Macron.

He was asked about his position regarding the possible entry of Western troops into Ukrainian territory. The French President noted that there is a “gradation” and that “we should not rule out options.”

” What's at stake in Ukraine is an existential war for our France and our Europe. We have imposed too many restrictions on our vocabulary,” the head of state explained.

He recalled that Europe sent tanks, missiles and planes to Ukraine after assuring it would never do so.

At the same time, Macron assured that “we will never go on the offensive, France is the power of peace.” But he added that we must look at the situation soberly, and also say “that we are ready to invest resources so that Russia does not win.” The French President added that the context in Ukraine is changing. Therefore, the beginning of 2024 should “be the time to leap forward.”

The safety of the French is at stake

Macron was still very careful when naming Vladimir Putin in an interview. He described him as “the president of Russia who fell into an authoritarian and repressive drift in his country, and who decided to become a destabilizing force in Europe.”

I am the head of state who spoke to him the most before the war. The time will come, I hope as soon as possible, to talk with the President of Russia, whoever he may be at that time,” he noted.

He also noted that < strong>“Russia is an adversary, not an enemy.” And that France is not at war with an aggressor country, even though it is “attacking us cybernetically.” Macron stressed that “we must not escalate.”
