"Russia is a threat to Europe"/ Macron: France and its allies must increase armaments
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday it would be "madness" to ignore the threat Russia now poses to Europe and stressed that he is open to talks on extending France's nuclear umbrella to Paris' allies on the continent.
He made these comments on the eve of an emergency meeting of European Union leaders, expected to be held today in Brussels, to discuss increasing the military budget, which is a significant request from the US administration due to concerns about Washington's commitment to NATO and European security issues.
Macron said in a televised speech that "our nuclear umbrella protects us: it is complete, sovereign and entirely French."
"However, responding to the historic call of the future German Chancellor [Friedrich Merz], I have decided to open the strategic debate on the protection of our allies on the European continent through our [nuclear] umbrella," he added.
Macron also said France would have to spend more on defense and pledged that Paris would continue to support Kiev in its fight against the Russian occupation, which has entered its fourth year.
"Russia has become a threat to France and Europe," Macron said. "To watch and do nothing would be foolish."
He said he hopes the United States "will remain by our side" - but added that Europe must be prepared for the opposite.
"The future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington or Moscow," Macron said. "The innocence of the last 30 years... is over."
"Who can believe that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine? Russia has become a threat to France and Europe and will remain so for years to come," he added.
"Beyond Ukraine, the Russian threat is present and affects European countries. It affects us too," Macron underlined.
All nations seek to keep the details of their nuclear arsenal secret, and Macron did not specifically talk about the details when he suggested expanding France's nuclear umbrella.
France's nuclear umbrella was developed by then-president Charles de Gaulle in the early 1960s, designed to be completely independent of the United States, which at the time was in a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union.
Macron's views have also been echoed by the leader of France's far-right party, who said that "the defense of French interests does not stop at [French] borders."
"Since the time of de Gaulle, the French nuclear umbrella, in essence, protects some neighbors and some European partners," the president of the National Rally party, Jordan Bardella, said this week.
Sipas Federatës së Shkencëtarëve Amerikanë, Shtetet e Bashkuara (5.044 koka bërthamore) dhe Rusia (5.580) zotërojnë rreth 88 për qind të inventarit të përgjithshëm të armëve bërthamore në botë.
Franca ka rreth 290 koka bërthamore dhe Britania rreth 225, sipas faqes së internetit të federatës. Kina ka rreth 500.
Merz, i cili ka gjasa të jetë kancelari i ardhshëm gjerman pasi partia e tij fitoi zgjedhjet parlamentare muajin e kaluar, ka ngritur pyetje nëse NATO-ja duhet të mbetet në “formën e saj të tanishme” deri në samitin e qershorit, dhe ka sugjeruar që të mbahen bisedime me Parisin dhe Londrën për zgjerimin e mbrojtjes së tyre bërthamore.
Shqetësimet mbi përkushtimin e SHBA-së ndaj Ukrainës dhe Evropës u rritën pasi Shtëpia e Bardhë tha se presidenti Donald Trump ka pezulluar ndihmën ushtarake amerikane për Ukrainën dhe pas komenteve të drejtorit të Agjencisë Qendrore të Inteligjencës (CIA) se ka kufizuar ndarjen e informatave të inteligjencës me Kievin.
Trump, i cili e ka bërë përfundimin e luftës në Ukrainë një nga prioritetet kryesore të mandatit të tij të dytë, ngriti gjithashtu shqetësime mes aleatëve evropianë pasi i telefonoi presidentin rus Vladimir Putin në mes të shkurtit dhe më pas dërgoi zyrtarë të lartë për t’u takuar me homologët e tyre rusë në Arabinë Saudite.
Takimi në Bruksel do të mbahet gjithashtu pas vizitës fatkeqe të presidentit ukrainas Volodymyr Zelensky në Shtëpinë e Bardhë, gjatë të cilës pritej nënshkrimi i një marrëveshjeje për zhvillimin e përbashkët të mineraleve të rralla dhe burimeve të hidrokarbureve të Ukrainës – një hap që Trump e ka cilësuar si thelbësor për arritjen e paqes midis Ukrainës dhe Rusisë.
Në vend të kësaj, një takim para kamerave në Zyrën Ovale u shndërrua në një përplasje të hapur, ku Trumpi i tha Zelenskyt se ai duhet të jetë më mirënjohës për mbështetjen amerikane dhe se nuk është në pozitë për të bërë kërkesa.
Pas komenteve të Macronit, Zelensky shkroi në rrjetet sociale: “Jam mirënjohës ndaj Macronit për vizionin e tij të qartë dhe përpjekjet tona të përbashkëta për të arritur paqen”.
Fokusi i samitit të 6 marsit në Bruksel do të jetë mbi gjetjen e mënyrave se si BE-ja mund të krijojë mjete për të siguruar mbrojtjen e saj dhe atë të Ukrainës, pasi synon ta zvogëlojë varësinë e saj ndaj Shteteve e Bashkuara pas Luftës së Dytë Botërore.
“Përballë situatës në rritje të kërcënimeve, është e qartë për ne që Evropa… duhet tani shumë shpejt të bëjë përpjekje të mëdha, shumë shpejt, për t’i forcuar aftësitë mbrojtëse të vendit tonë dhe të kontinentit evropian”, tha Merz më 3 mars.
Macron, i cili ka kërkuar prej kohësh të luajë rol aktiv diplomatik që nga pushtimi i plotë i Ukrainës nga Rusia, tha se po planifikon një takim me aleatët evropianë javën e ardhshme për të diskutuar mundësinë e dërgimit të forcave paqeruajtëse në Ukrainë në rast të një marrëveshjeje për armëpushim ose një akordi afatgjatë.
"To ensure that Ukraine is not invaded by Russia again after a peace agreement, we must prepare for this," Macron said.
"Next week, the chiefs of staff of the armies of the states that wish to fulfill their responsibilities in this regard will gather in Paris," he stressed.
"Ukraine has the right to peace and security, and this is in our interest, it is in the interest of the security of the European continent. In this framework, we are working together with our friends in Great Britain, Germany and some other European countries," he concluded./ REL
