The climate between Russia And France it’s getting hotter and hotter. Emmanuel Macron’s latest utterances on the possible sending of troops to Ukraine have triggered a muscular reaction from the Kremlin: Vladimir Putin ordered the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in response to “threats” from the Elysée. But that’s not all. In a dance that is anything but sensible, Macron has decided to send its representatives to the fifth installation ceremony as the “new” president of Russia. In addition to the delegates from Paris, those from Hungary and Slovakia were present, while the majority of EU member states opted for the boycott. To recap: first Macron opts for an aggressive campaign against the Kremlin, but then celebrates Putin’s coronation?
As previously highlighted, a few days ago Macron returned to fearing the possibility ofsending French troops to Kiev “if Russia breaks through the front”. An intimidation according to the Kremlin, which summoned the Transalpine ambassador to Moscow. But the Elysée has no intention of standing idly by: Paris has denounced one desire for “intimidation” on the part of Russia, with the recent summoning of the French ambassador to Moscow. “France notes that diplomatic channels are once again being diverted for the purposes of information manipulation and intimidation,” the spokeswoman said: “France will continue to support Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian aggression”.
Macron’s words were considered as one dangerous tendency towards escalation and this is not the first warning from the Kremlin. He thought about making matters worse against Moscow David Cameron: The British Foreign Secretary has given the green light to Ukraine to also use UK missiles to attack Russia. “Ukraine has the right to strike inside Russia because Russia is striking inside Ukraine. It is up to the Ukrainians to decide how to use these weapons. They are defending their country, they have been illegally invaded by Putin and they must react. We want to be absolutely clear: Russia launched an attack against Ukraine and Ukraine absolutely has the right to counterattack Russia,” the former prime minister highlighted.

All it takes is a spark to unleash irreversible scenarios, but perhaps not everyone realizes this. Eager to gain support in view of the European elections, Macron tried to extract some promises from the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, historically close to Putin. The French president welcomed Chinese commitments “to refrain from selling any weapons” and “any aid to Moscow”. Furthermore, Xi would have expressed “the willingness to ask all parties involved in the various conflicts for an Olympic truce” during the Paris 2024 Games. “We both think that this initiative could be an opportunity to work on a lasting resolution in full respect of international law,” Macron explained. On Ukraine, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she was confident that China could continue to keep “Russian nuclear threats” at bay. Updates will follow, but beware of playing with fire.
