French President Emmanuel Macron has said there are “no limits” to France’s support for Kiev, further attempting to intensify pro-war sentiments as Sweden joins the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
His statement came during a meeting held with the country’s political party leaders at the Elysee Palace to deliberate on the situation in Ukraine.
After the meeting, Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the French Communist Party, said Macron had expressed that “France’s position [on the war] has changed” and that “there are no more red lines, there are no more limits.”
The French government’s increasingly belligerent approach to the war in Ukraine follows Macron’s comments that he would not rule out sending troops to fight there and comes as a senior Russian military official warned that increasing Western interference in Ukraine could spark a full-scale war in Europe.
“[A] large-scale war in Europe… cannot be ruled out,” said Colonel-General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, head of the Russian army’s Military Academy of the General Staff. “The likelihood of our state being purposefully drawn into new military conflicts is significantly increasing.”
