“Today, first of all, Vladimir Putin must end this war, respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and return to the negotiating table,” Macron said on France 2, guaranteeing that he did not want a “world war.”
According to the president, France will provide Ukraine with “radar, missile systems” to protect Ukrainians from attacks, “especially to protect them from drone attacks.”
And the French president reiterated that France is considering handing over the Caesar weapons to Ukraine.
“We have delivered 18 weapons since the start of the war and we are working with Denmark on delivering six additional weapons,” he announced, explaining that these six weapons were initially designed for the Danish Army. We are trying to deliver it to Ukrainians as soon as possible,” he explained.
Kiev has asked its allies to help bolster its anti-aircraft defenses, after two days of intense Russian bombing across the region, but mainly in the capital, which has left dozens of civilian casualties and destroyed infrastructure.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the creation of an anti-aircraft “shield” over Ukraine.
During the interview, Macron also warned that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko could face “problems” in the country if he gets more involved in Ukraine’s war on Russia’s side.
“If President Lukashenko decides to involve himself further in this war, he will do so against the advice of a large part of his people, and he will do so with a responsibility that I do not think will be without problems,” he said. .
