“Today we must help Ukraine in any way we can,” continued the head of state, who in 2019 ruled that NATO was in a state of “brain death.”
Emmanuel Macron, who ruled in 2019 that NATO was in a state of “brain death,” said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin “woke it up with the worst electric shock” by invading Ukraine.
“Today we must help Ukraine by all means to carry out an effective counter-offensive,” said the French head of state at the Globsec forum in Bratislava.
“It is important. That’s what we do. We must intensify it because in the coming months the possibility of an elected and therefore lasting peace is at stake,” he added.
“Credible Security Guarantees” for Ukraine
Emmanuel Macron also said that the West should give Ukraine “tangible and credible security guarantees” and was “much more ambitious” than before.
“This will be the subject of joint discussions in the coming weeks,” said the French President ahead of the NATO summit in Vilnius in July.
According to him, “Ukraine today protects Europe” and is “equipped with so many armaments” that it is in the western interest “that they have credible security guarantees with us in a multilateral framework”.
