“We will not take the path of escalation, since we do not need another war, but we are ready to say that we have no limits and we are ready to react depending on Russia’s actions,” TASS quotes him.

According to him, Ukraine needs strong positions for negotiations.

“But I am not yet taking offensive initiatives,” Macron added.

At the end of February, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine cannot be ruled out.

He later corrected his statement and said that "not ruling something out is not the same as doing it."

At the same time, the survey showed that almost 60% of the French did not agree with Macron on the issue of assistance to Ukraine.
