French President Emmanuel Macron said Russia's defeat in the Ukrainian conflict is "necessary to ensure security and stability" in Europe. Macron did not specify the specific actions of Paris in this direction.
Last December, Macron admitted that in a number of European countries and the U.S. there are doubts about the future fate of Ukraine. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban previously expressed the opinion that Europe needs a new security system that will be acceptable to both Russia and Ukraine. The French leader said this during a press conference following a meeting to support Ukraine.
