In a message posted on X on Saturday 14 November, President Emmanuel Macron says that rationing Ukraine’s resources would be “the recipe for the next war”. He argues this choice would force Kyiv to accept an unjust peace and durably weaken the whole of Europe, while Marine Le Pen, the favourite in the presidential race, is questioning this aid, according to BFMTV.

Emmanuel Macron believes that by restricting Ukraine’s means, some would impose an unjust peace on Kyiv, at the risk of lasting vulnerability for the whole of Europe. In a solemn message posted on X on Saturday, the head of state says this approach prepares “the next war” and that France cannot accept it.

His stance comes as Marine Le Pen, seen as the favourite in the French presidential race, wants to call aid to Kyiv into question. The president also calls on Europeans to tell the Russians what they want for the post-war period, and what they expect from Washington for the continent’s long-term security.

The debate is part of talks on Ukraine: according to President Zelensky, Washington proposes ceding Donbas in return for NATO.
