US EditionMacron promises new Russia sanctions, discusses French nuclear deterrent for Europe
- On May 31, 2023, during a speech in Bratislava, French President Emmanuel Macron warned that Europe would introduce additional penalties against Russia if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire without conditions in Ukraine.
- This commitment follows a stalled ceasefire proposal backed by France, Britain, Germany, and Poland calling for a 30-day ceasefire starting May 15, which Russia has refused to accept.
- Macron stated that France is willing to engage in talks about placing its nuclear-capable aircraft in other European nations as a measure to strengthen deterrence amid escalating security tensions following Russia’s invasion.
- He emphasized Europe will impose further sanctions targeting Russian oil, gas, and financial sectors if Moscow ignores the ceasefire, while noting there is currently no legal framework to seize frozen Russian assets and calling such seizure 'not a good solution'.
- Macron stressed supporting Ukraine’s defense remains essential without escalating to a Third World War, signaling sustained European resolve despite Ukraine’s limited capacity to retake all territory lost since 2014.
