When asked about a potential military intervention, he clarified that while France is not eager for confrontation, it remains prepared to assist in resolving the issue if necessary. Additionally, Macron shared his views on Vladimir Putin and Russia's escalating threats towards Europe, emphasizing the importance of strategic engagement rather than launching unconsidered wars.
