Second, after the invasion Mr Macron has spoken to his Russian counterpart more than has any other Western leader. The French president periodically evokes the possibility of peace talks, arguing that Russia’s concerns will need to be taken into account. Last year he pressed the case for “not humiliating” Russia. The conclusion in some quarters is that Mr Macron wants to push Ukraine into suing for peace.
The French presidency categorically denies this. At no moment, says an adviser, has Mr Macron put pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, to negotiate. Mr Macron has hardened his line on Russia, declaring on December 31st that France would support Ukraine “all the way to victory”. The change has been noted in Kyiv. “Macron’s statement indeed demonstrates a substantial shift,” said Andriy Zagorodnyuk, Mr Zelensky’s former defence minister, in a tweet responding to the news.
in December 2022. Both countries worry about escalation. President Joe Biden finds Mr Macron’s line to Mr Putin useful. The Americans also know that France is the European Union’s biggest military power. On January 20th the French president announced a massive 40% increase in the French defence budget for 2024-30, compared with 2019-25, to €413bn .
If France does send Leclerc tanks to Ukraine, it would probably be a symbolic rather than an operational decision. The French army has little more than 200 of the tanks in operation, and can spare few of them. Either way, Mr Macron has made his political and military support for Ukraine clearer than ever, even if France remains unlikely to take the lead.
Ending this war quickly is good for everyone! It is a waste of lives, money and livelihood!

None and that is the case with the leftist leaders & elitists of the free world. They need WWIII just as bad as they need Black kids getting killed to sustain their relevancy. They not role models, leaders, doers or peace makers. Crooks for our money.
Certain world leaders are positioning themselves for when the war is over and there will be a rebuilding Ukrainian contracts bonanza. Johnson for instance will have set himself up as a lobbyist/fixer/broker. Ukraine has a lot of resources - not just sunflower oil.
Nobody wants a WW. Eventually, western help will slow its pace. Anyone with a working brain cell will understand that this cannot go indefinitely.
MedvedevRussiaE the whole west is mocking on Putin’s threats since he has never done anything to truly prevent the west from sending heavy weaponry to the racist Ukraine,therefore the west is confident Putin will do nothing to stop the west from providing more weapons to Ukraine
Pack of WEF scumbag dictators.
He has no more role in life & can get red of old arms stock,,
Prepare for ww3
Macron does not send troops and tanks to Russia, but he does not say no to increasing the number of soldiers in Africa. Money is more important.
France doesn’t trust him. He’s unstable.
Add more fire
🤥🤥🤥🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬👹👹👹
France does not have a position, anymore. EmmanuelMacron decided to become Biden’s puppet, just like vonderleyen.
Interesting, the French are currently rioting in the streets of France because of their leaders reducing social benefits while handing millions over to Ukraine. Biden handing Billions over with no idea how it is being spent. I bet neither are re-elected.

Pair of pro EU muppets 🤡
Macron is one of the greatest leaders of our time to support Ukraine.
Not so far from Moscow. It seems that since Brexit (you did not really oppose or so weakly) you have lost sense of geography TE. The channel is not so wide
It's like counting potatoes on a MacD store table.E
France
And France has contributed centimes behind a resolute Macron.
I love France. Great people who also have really good food.
Ukrayna 🇺🇦 sadece kullanmak amaçları !!!

Political survival kit.
Is this guy ever in “his country”? He seems to be just traveling around, wear green t-shirts, selling war propaganda for other people’s money without knowing where any of it goes. FYI: Texas has a higher GDP than Russia. thinkaboutthat
Confus
Just another socialist President permanently on transmit, spending other people’s money and equipment. Not even in top 10 financial and equipment support, just blah blah blah.
Putin really set Russia back decades of not a century. About how long until he’s toppled?
Follow media
Honestly, someone had to keep lines open with Russia. US, Germany couldn’t. UK PM has been embroiled on issues for a year and switched 3x.
Macron has no policy, he's the most useless and untrustworthy leader in Europe. He's everything to everybody: he tells everyone what he thinks they want to hear. He hasn't a mind of his own - he just wants to be liked and adored.
imo the only time world leaders play footsie with a dictator is when they have something shady going on behind the scenes. it's so predictable. appeasement is just a public appeal to maintain omerta.
It's nice to see he has time to squeeze in some bicep curls.
Intentaré disfrutar de los años que la vida me regale, aunque eso no quita el nivel de decepción que produce esta especie en esta etapa...el gran arquitecto parece poco detallista...
No discussion with bloody murderers. Sorry.
Russia propaganda seeping into Latvia & other countries too. Message is that Russia is victim of West. 'The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.' Aldous Huxley
