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.”

      We helped Arabs in the same way we helped the Ukrainians, back when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.

      Watch in wonder as we abandon Ukraine just as quickly as we did Afghanistan.
