French President Emmanuel Macron called on Europeans to be courageous in the face of Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
“We are certainly approaching a moment in our Europe when it is appropriate not to be cowardly,” Macron told the French community in Prague on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He believes that France and the Czech Republic are aware of what is happening in Europe – namely that war has returned to European soil.<\/p>\n
“We must do justice to history and the courage it requires. That is also our responsibility,” the French leader sad.<\/p>\n
Last week, Macron caused a stir when he did not rule out helping Ukraine’s defence by deploying ground troops there. He said nothing should be ruled out.<\/p>\n
However there was no agreement on this during a meeting of more than 20 heads of state and prime ministers.<\/p>\n
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and many other leaders rejected Macron’s proposal for a possible deployment of ground troops from to Ukraine.<\/p>\n
