"Putin deceived him": Zelensky explained why Macron so sharply changed his position

According to the Ukrainian leader, Paris and Kiev will discuss further options for Ukraine's military support. In recent days, French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed an increasingly persistent position on Russia, declaring her "inevitable defeat. " This was reported by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Le Monde. According to Zelensky, President of France probably realized that "Putin personally deceived him.

" "Putin gave the word to certain leaders that there will be no large -scale invasion, just a few days before. Therefore, Macron no longer trust Putin. Indeed, it took some time, but the result is," Zelensky said. In addition, he said, Macron himself called him another reason for such a change of position. "During our conversation, I thanked him for spending so much time in Ukraine. He replied:" Of course, but I want you to know that I am doing it for France. " Europe is and France.

I think it is what he understood, "the President of Ukraine emphasized. He stated that with stability in Ukraine, the French army will retain its presence in the French territory. The Ukrainian leader also noted that during the future visit of the President of France to Kiev will discuss with him possible further options for Ukraine's support.

In particular, this cooperation in the field of cyber defense is not so much about military presence, but about experts who exchange data and intelligence information. It is also about the field of preparation - conducting training missions for artillery, armored vehicles, defense systems, as well as F16, as well as training of combat aircraft.

At the same time, Zelensky noted that he was working on the idea of ​​reducing the time of training of the Ukrainian military and carrying it out in Ukraine, directly adapting it to the conditions of war. "This does not mean that the French army is going to interfere with Ukraine, we are only talking about training in various fields," he stressed.

In addition, Zelensky emphasized that they also consider the possibility of joint production of military equipment, such as the French artillery systems "Caesar" and German tanks "Leopard". "When we received this technique, the personnel went abroad for training and then returned to adapt to Ukrainian conditions. But when these machines got into the incident, they had to be sent back to Europe, which is another long process.

Not to think about bringing technical staff to Ukraine, and the license would remain in Ukraine? Such a joint production would be in the interests of both countries, ”Zelensky emphasized. We will remind, on February 26 French President Emmanuel Macron stated that NATO is discussing the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. According to him, in the future "nothing should be excluded.
