Traveling to kyiv (Ukraine), Thursday, June 16, Emmanuel Macron sought in particular to sweep away doubts about French sincerity.
“Emmanuel Macron came to Ukraine to restore the confidence of Ukrainians”explains Agnès Vahramian, special correspondent in kyiv (Ukraine), Thursday, June 16. “He repeated several times during his trip that France’s support was unambiguous. Something to counterbalance his statement ‘We must not humiliate Russia’. Remarks which had been interpreted here as pressure on the Ukrainians to make territorial concessions in the midst of the war”says the journalist.
“Emmanuel Macron also promised new military aid, six Caesar Cannons. This signal was interpreted very positively in Kyiv”adds Agnès Vahramian. “Finally, France fully supports Ukraine’s application to join the European Union. These are three important points to sweep away doubts about French sincerity”concludes the journalist.
