French president invokes Winston Churchill’s call to maintain the ‘sinews of peace’ in a prime-time interview on his stance on the conflict

The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

    The whole ‘border’ with Crimea should have been a deathtrap. I think it came out the Ukrainian commanders there were in cahoots.

      That unfortunately wouldn’t surprise me.

      I honestly never considered how much Ukrainian corruption was the direct result of Russia, but now it all makes sense.
