President Macron of France has advocated for calm and dialogue among European leaders as tensions rise following a recent incident involving Ukraine's president, Zelensky. He stressed the necessity for Europe to develop its own nuclear defense capabilities, arguing that the continent can no longer depend on the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Macron warned that failure to deter Putin could lead to wider conflicts in Eastern Europe and called for a strategic dialogue with non-nuclear European nations to enhance collective security efforts, viewing it as a critical step for future European autonomy in defense matters.
"If we do not collectively reflect on our defense strategy, some European leaders could find themselves appearing to support Ukraine today only to discover the US has turned its back on the region tomorrow."
