French President Emmanuel Macron called on Ukraine's allies in Prague to "not be cowardly" in the face of powers that have "become unstoppable" Last week, the head of state made controversial comments on the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. “We are certainly approaching a moment in our Europe where it will be appropriate not to be cowards,” launched the French president at the start of his visit to the Czech Republic.

‘We will have to live up to History and the courage it implies,’ he insisted.
