Responding to the question of whether Paris is ready to supply planes to Kyiv, the French leader said that “by definition, nothing is ruled out, but subject to three criteria.”
Macron explained that the first criterion is the usefulness of such supplies for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the second is that the supplies do not lead to an escalation. “What we supply should not affect Russian territory, but should protect Ukraine,” the French president said.
The third criterion, Macron continued, is that the supplies do not weaken France’s defences.
“Therefore, nothing is prohibited in principle, but these three principles must be observed,” Macron concluded.
