President Emmanuel Macron suggested that France would not use nuclear weapons against Russia should Vladimir Putin launch nuclear strikes against Ukraine.
“I have always told the truth to the French. Russia is equipped with nuclear weapons. France too. In this regard, our doctrine is clear. Deterrence works, but the less we talk about it, the more credible we are,” he said.: “Our doctrine is based on the fundamental interests of the Nation and they are very clearly defined. If there were a nuclear ballistic attack in Ukraine, these interests would not be called into question.
The comments come in contrast to a statement earlier this week from the G7 nations, of which France is a member, which stated: “We reaffirm that any use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons by Russia would be met with severe consequences.”
