News - Middle East: French President Emmanuel Macron says his nation is prepared to make sure that Russia does not emerge victorious in the conflict in Ukraine, noting that sending troops to Ukraine was "possible." 

"If the situation should deteriorate, we would be ready to make sure that Russia never wins that war," Macron said on French TV on Thursday, warning that anybody advocating "limits" on aid to Ukraine "chooses defeat".
While claiming that European security was at risk amid the Ukrainian conflict, Macron cautioned allies against imposing any restrictions on the support provided for Kiev.
Reacting to the French opposition leaders' condemnation of his recent comments as bellicose, Macron said "if Russia wins this war, Europe's credibility will be reduced to zero", and would mean that "we have no security."
Criticizing the opposition leaders, he said that he "deeply" disagreed with them, and called them the reason behind Ukraine’s defeat on the ground.
"Today, deciding to abstain or vote against support to Ukraine, it's not choosing peace, it's choosing defeat. It's different," he said.
