France's security depends on support for Ukraine, stated Raphael Glucksmann
French presidential candidate Raphael Glucksmann stated that peace in Ukraine signifies the collapse of Putin's expansionist plans. The politician warned that the positions held by other candidates for the head of state would only weaken Europe and France. This was reported by Ukrinform, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
During his speech at the Paris Peace Forum, Raphael Glucksmann emphasized that true peace cannot be based on satisfying an aggressor’s demands to suit the whims of Donald Trump. In the politician’s view, Russia is waging war to destroy the European security architecture, which directly impacts the safety of the French people themselves.
International law and European security
Glucksmann criticized the approach where Washington unilaterally decides which topics are acceptable to discuss with the Kremlin. He stressed that any discussions regarding EU borders based on Moscow’s prior ultimatums are unacceptable and dangerous for the continent.
Furthermore, the candidate called on his election rivals to openly present their foreign policy programs. In his opinion, the current disregard for issues of international law and global cooperation by many French politicians demonstrates a lack of strategic vision for the country’s future.
Assessment of opponents’ platforms
Commenting on Marine Le Pen’s intentions to end aid to Ukraine, Glucksmann noted that such a move effectively means France abandoning its own front line of defense. He urged citizens to carefully consider the consequences of such a policy for national security.
Regarding Jean-Luc Melenchon’s ideas concerning territorial concessions and conducting referendums on occupied lands, the politician recalled the opponent’s previous rhetoric, particularly regarding Crimea. Glucksmann is convinced that such positions only play into Russian interests, undermining European unity.
