Emmanuel Macron on Ukraine: “Perhaps at some point we will have to carry out operations on the ground”

Emmanuel Macron looks satisfied as he returns to his Falcon 7X bearing the coat of arms of the Republic at the end of the day on Friday 15 March at Berlin Airport. Candid handshakes, big smiles, military honors given in the square in front of the Chancellery, joint vows of “unity makes us stronger than ever”, all against the backdrop of “dear Olaf” and “dear Emmanuel”… This summit in “ The Weimar Triangle format, diplomats say, with the participation of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, fulfilled its purpose: to ease strong Franco-German tensions after the head of state’s formula “not to rule out” sending ground troops to Ukraine, which turned away the majority their allies who were hostile to this idea.

Scholz rejected this most harshly. There was a certain harshness in the discussions: last week in Prague, Macron called for “not to be cowardly.” He did not attack anyone by name, but the anxiety was palpable… In European capitals, this seismicity of the Franco-German “engine”, a sign of possible disunity, which Vladimir Putin wants to play on at a time when the situation in Ukrainians is difficult to face with Russians troops, worry.
