The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

    I don’t support Russia, but you need to be realistic.

    Who is going to be driving them out of Ukraine? Biden has refused to send the US military, and Congress refuses to send weapons.

      Ukraine will, with support from other countries, as they are now. We need more support for Ukraine, who has already done an excellent job stopping Russia’s progress. Ukraine can only get stronger with more support. Biden can’t send the US military because that turns into a full blown conflict between Russia and America, which would be worse for everybody.

      Also it’s an election year. Biden isn’t refusing to send support. Congress is.

        Biden could put boots on the ground tomorrow if he wanted to. The Commander-in-Chief has full control of military operations.
