French President Emmanuel Macron has accused Russia of reinterpreting ceasefire agreements in Ukraine, stating that while claiming to want peace, Russia continues to intensively strike Ukrainian territory, including civilian targets. He condemned these strikes and announced that France will provide an additional $2 billion in military support to Ukraine.
Macron emphasized that Russia cannot dictate the conditions for a lasting peace in Ukraine and revealed that the new military aid package will include anti-tank missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and drones for Kyiv. He made it clear that the focus is on supporting Ukraine in defending itself.
Regarding the possibility of lifting sanctions on Russia, Macron stated that it is “much too early” to consider such a move. He expressed concern over Russia’s actions and its attempts to change the terms of agreements made during ceasefire talks.
The French leader’s strong words highlight the ongoing tensions in the region and the need for continued support for Ukraine against Russian aggression. Macron’s announcement of increased military aid demonstrates France’s commitment to standing with Ukraine in the face of escalating conflict. The international community will be watching closely as the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve.
