Macron Challenges Putin Over Ukraine ‘Red Lines’

French President Emmanuel Macron has said there are “no limits” to French support for Kyiv, according to a report of his comments on Thursday.

The French head of state held a meeting of the country’s political party leaders at the Elysee Palace to discuss the situation in Ukraine, according to Le Monde.

Following the meeting, Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the French Communist Party, said Macron had expressed how “France’s position has changed” regarding the war, and that “there are no more red lines, there are no more limits,” the publication reported.

This week, Macron walked back on previous comments made following a meeting of European Union leaders in Paris, when he said that “nothing should be excluded” when it came to backing Ukraine against Vladimir Putin.

Terrified of provoking the bear, US and European leaders half-heartedly sanctioned Moscow and supplied only enough weaponry to allow Ukraine to stay fighting but insufficient to give it a real chance of driving Russia back. Every long range weapon that was provided was accompanied by strict caveats against their use on sovereign Russian territory while Moscow freely launched assaults wherever it wanted against Ukraine.

That policy was bare-facedly verified in the phone conversation by German Luftwaffe generals revealed this week when they made clear that Taurus long range missiles would not be provided in sufficient numbers to change the trajectory of the hostilities.
