China News Service, Paris, March 14 (Reporter Li Yang) On the evening of March 14, local time, French President Macron elaborated on his views on the Ukraine crisis through a live TV interview.
The live television interview lasted half an hour.
In the interview, Macron believed that it should be ensured that Russia will not win in Ukraine, otherwise it will severely damage Europe's credibility and change the lives of French people.
He said it was important for Europe not to draw red lines on aid to Ukraine.
He described Russia as an "adversary" but did not position it as an "enemy."
Macron said France is ready to face nuclear threats.
He said that France's nuclear arsenal provides appropriate protection for the people.
He believes that nuclear arsenals impose corresponding responsibilities and that nuclear threats should not be escalated through words or actions.
Macron revealed that the situation on Ukraine's front line is fragile and Ukraine's counterattack did not go as planned. The situation is difficult for Ukraine because Russia is a larger country.
He also said that he had not spoken to Putin for several months.
Macron previously stated that the possibility of Western countries sending troops to Ukraine cannot be ruled out, triggering various comments.
When asked about relevant remarks, he once again said that although the corresponding situation does not yet exist, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
Ukrainian President Zelensky visited France last month.
Macron met with him and jointly signed a Franco-Ukrainian bilateral security agreement.
The French National Assembly (lower house of parliament) and the Senate confirmed the agreement this week.
Macron will go to Germany on the 15th to continue consultations with leaders of Germany and other countries on issues such as the Ukraine crisis.
