Macron responds to Le Pen: Ending aid to Ukraine would jeopardize France’s security

Macron made the remarks at a press conference following the European Council summit in Brussels, Ukrinform reports. “If France supports Ukraine, as all European Union member states are doing today, because following the elections in Hungary, all 27 of us maintain this position, it is because we know that our own security is at stake,” the French President said. According to Macron, politicians who propose saving budget funds by ending aid to Ukraine would put France in an unprecedented position among its European partners. “Anyone who tells the French people today, ‘We will save money because all this is not serious, and we will stop supporting Ukraine,’ would put France in an unprecedented position from the very first second.
