With his unexpected proposal to send Western soldiers to Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron caused a diplomatic and political uproar. A lone rider who questions his real intentions: is he seriously considering dragging France into the Ukrainian conflict against all odds?
A disavowed solo release
When talking about sending troops to Ukraine, the French president made a solitary pas de deux. Neither his allies nor his political opponents seem ready to follow him down this dangerous path with unpredictable consequences.
Proof that his announcement was more a desire to exert internal pressure than a real assumed strategic position? The trouble remains.
Towards a solitary escalation against Russia?
However, it is difficult to know Emmanuel Macron’s true intentions in this matter. His stubbornness and the minimum clarifications from his ministers raise questions. How far is he prepared to go in his face-to-face with Vladimir Putin?
The worrying impression of a president who, like an unconscious warlord, could well drag France alone into the Ukrainian conflict remains. A disaster scenario that we hope to narrowly avoid.
