When asked during his July 14 interview about the war in Ukraine and its prospects, Emmanuel Macron was quite pessimistic about the coming months. “I say it, this war will last,” the head of state decided on Thursday.
“Summer, the beginning of autumn will certainly be very hard, very hard,” he stressed, particularly in the Donbass area, located in eastern Ukraine, and which today is now the main target of Vladimir Putin’s army.
However, he promised that “France will always be able to help Ukraine” and assured “do everything possible to stop the Russian war effort.”
On Thursday, at least 12 people were killed in Russian strikes that hit Vinnytsia, a city in central Ukraine hitherto relatively free from fighting. Minutes after the attacks, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed Russia, describing it as “a murderous country, a terrorist country.”
