The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

    We should have given Ukraine everything they needed on day one

    In that case the credibility of Europe is long gone because nothing will change the history of how poor the response was. Well, except for writing history books about how Ukraine only prevailed because of Europe’s immediate and plentiful help, but those will take some time to overwrite what people actually saw

      Yeah, I fully agree. The dithering response has already done untold damage to future credibility.
