French President Emmanuel Macron ruled out nuclear retaliation against Russia if the Kremlin nuked Ukraine.
Citing France's decadeslong nuclear doctrine, the French leader argued that responding with nuclear force to a detonation in Ukraine is not in the nation's best interests and argued France wants to refrain from ushering in a larger war.“Our doctrine rests on the fundamental interests of the nation," Macron told France 2 on Wednesday."They are defined clearly and wouldn’t be directly affected at all if, for example, there was a ballistic nuclear attack in Ukraine, in the region.
The Kremlin has suffered a string of military setbacks in Ukraine over recent months and recently fired off a barrage of deadly airstrikes in several Ukrainian cities, such as the capital of Kyiv. Macron contended that Russia should end the war and conceded that it may be necessary for Ukraine to negotiate.
