In 2019, Emmanuel Macron said of NATO that it was in “brain death“. Since the war in Ukraine, the alliance wants to strengthen its means. More than 300,000 soldiers will be trained at high level. “To face the Russian threat, “we must send a message of unity and strength”, said Emmanuel Macron“, reports journalist Guillaume Daret, live from Madrid where the NATO summit is taking place, Tuesday, June 28.

“This war in Ukraine, in any case, has completely revived the role of the Atlantic alliance. In this context, the Baltic countries are asking for more protection, because they are the ones who most face the appetites of Vladimir Putin.“, continues Guillaume Daret. Sweden and Finland would also like to join NATO.”This summit, in any case, constitutes a new stage in the diplomatic marathon of Emmanuel Macron, return scheduled for Thursday evening in Paris, to plunge back into French politics.“, concludes the journalist.
