Macron: Maybe we will intervene to prevent Russia’s advance!
France's president says the country is seeking to avoid direct intervention in the Ukraine war, but that intervention may be necessary to prevent Russia from advancing too far. |
report Mehr News Agency quoted by Rashatoudi, French President Emmanuel Macron says that Paris does not intend to directly intervene in the war in Ukraine, but if Russia advances too much, direct French intervention may be necessary. .
In a video posted on X, Macron said in response to a question about whether France was going to enter the war: “If Russia wins, the European Union It will lose all its credibility and security. Our future and security in Ukraine is on a razor’s edge.
The French president said: Therefore, I hope with all my heart that we will not have to go to war. France is a pacifist power, although it must arm itself to preserve peace. If our interests are threatened, intervention is still an option on the table.
He continued: Sometimes we have to be restrained and believable towards our enemies and say that “if you threaten our interests and security, then intervene.” I do not reject.
Macron’s statements reflect his previous statements about the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. In February, he did not rule out the possibility of sending troops from NATO to Ukraine and claimed that if Ukraine fails, the credibility of the European Union will drop to zero.
