Putin’s government has assured that France “is already involved” in the war and that statements like this indicate that Paris “is ready for deeper participation” in the conflict.

The spokesman for the Russian Presidency, Dimitri Peskov, has taken note of Macron’s successive statements, and sees it as “obvious” that Macron sees Russia as an “opponent”, to the extent that “France has already been dragged into the war in Ukraine,” according to the TASS news agency. “In fact, he indirectly participates in this war and, judging by President Macron’s statements, he is not once morest increasing his involvement,” Peskov added in statements to the media, EP reports.

Macron on Thursday called Russia “an adversary that would not stop in Ukraine if it defeated kyiv’s troops” in the two-year conflict, and urged Europeans not to be “weak” and prepare to respond.

“We will never go on the offensive, we will never take the initiative” to fight Russia, but there is no need to “rule out options”said the 46-year-old president. If President Vladimir Putin’s Russia “wins the war,” “we will no longer have security” in Europe and the continent’s “credibility” will “reduce to zero,” he added.
