Macron going hard on Putin tonight.
"The United States, our ally, has changed its position on this war, is supporting Ukraine less and is leaving doubts about what will happen next.
"The Russian threat is there and affects the countries of Europe, affects us. Russia has made the Ukrainian conflict a global conflict. Russia is testing our limits. Russia has become a threat to France and to Europe."
President Putin's Russia violates our borders to assassinate opponents, manipulates elections in Romania or Moldova. It tests our limits and this aggressiveness does not seem to know any borders,
I want to believe that the United States will remain at our side, but we must be ready if this is not the case"
"Peace cannot be the capitulation of Ukraine, it cannot be its collapse"
"I have decided to open the strategic debate on the protection of our allies on the European continent through our nuclear deterrent,"
Peace in Ukraine "will perhaps come through the deployment of European forces",
"The future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington or Moscow. The threat is coming back to the East."
"Russia has become a threat to France and Europe," says Emmanuel Macron. "By 2030, Russia plans to further increase its army, with 3,000 more tanks and 300 more fighter jets. Who can believe that Russia will stop at Ukraine," the president said.
