European Leader Macron Calls for Credible Military Defense against Russian Aggression
President Macron admitted that he should have listened to Eastern European nations' warnings about Russian aggression towards Ukraine, and criticized French President Jacques Chirac's comment in 2003 that East European nations who opposed the Iraq War had missed an opportunity to "shut up." Macron emphasized that Ukraine is defending Europe and that any ceasefire would be a geopolitical failure.
He called for tangible and credible security guarantees for Ukraine and argued that Europe should build its own defense industry, not just rely on the US.
Macron also said that Ukraine's bid for Nato membership should be considered.
