Moscow, Mar 22 (UNI) French President Emmanuel Macron said at a meeting with French politicians at the Elysee Palace that Ukraine could fall very soon, Politico reported, citing an unnamed meeting participant.
“Ukraine can fall very quickly,” Macron was quoted as saying.
The statement was made in the context of discussions of the upcoming elections to the European Parliament.
Following a Paris-hosted conference on Ukraine in late February, French President Emmanuel Macron said Western leaders had discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine and, although no consensus had been reached in this regard, nothing could be ruled out.
