French president invokes Winston Churchill’s call to maintain the ‘sinews of peace’ in a prime-time interview on his stance on the conflict

The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

    Armenia never relied on the EU’s support lol - the West has always supported Turkey (even back in the Cold War), which supports Azerbaijan.

    That is why Armenia is in CSTO.

    No-one in Europe is going to war over Taiwan, it’s thousands of kilometres away. Whereas Russia has carried out multiple attacks in the UK, and shot down a civilian airliner full of Dutch nationals, and borders many EU nations to which it is hostile.

      Armenia was in CSTO, they are no longer. And if Taiwan is attacked, the US and Europe will be affected above all others, as both economies are highly industrialized and thus highly dependent on the microchips coming out of Taiwan and South Korea.
