France's president recently brought up the use of Western soldiers in Ukraine. The statement led to massive criticism.
Nevertheless, Macron is sticking to it - and speaks of prudent words. “Every word I say on this topic is considered, thoughtful and prudent,” he said at the opening of the Olympic Village in Paris. He did not want to comment further because it was not the place for “geopolitical comments.” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas supported the French President's statements.
