Macron’s warning about limiting the Ukrainian army
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that Ukraine’s military could not be limited, following various peace proposals that included a cap on the size of Ukraine’s armed forces.
According to Isna, in his speech, Macron emphasized that the Ukrainian army should not be limited, and stated that the European Union countries hope to reach a final decision on financing the defense of Ukraine in the near future.
In his speech, he also mentioned the frozen assets of Russia in Europe; An issue that had previously caused differences in the European Union.
The European Union approved the latest sanctions package against Russia last month, but was unable to agree on the use of its assets to finance loans to Ukraine, as some countries expressed concerns about the legal implications of such a move.
Macron also said that Ukraine needs a “serious peace”; A peace that “respects international law.”
Although Macron has opposed limiting Ukraine’s military, in European counter-proposals for a peace deal with Russia, Kiev’s allies have agreed to limit the size of Ukraine’s peacetime army to 800,000.
In the plan proposed by the United States and Russia, this ceiling was set at 600,000 people.
