France “can play a central role” in Ukraine and Security in Europe, says the prime minister

The Prime Minister, François Bayrou, during his speech on the situation in Ukraine and Security in Europe, at Assemblée National, Paris, March 3, 2025.

Three years after the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Assembly of the Norital France gave its support unanimous Kiiv Monday, March 3. The government invited the parliamentarians to a debate without vote on Ukraine and Security in Europe. In the presence of Vadym Omelchenko, the Ukrainian ambassador in France, Prime Minister François Bayrou spoke about the altercation between Vorodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump at the White House on Friday. “An amazing scene, marked by the brutality and humiliation” of the Ukrainian president, denounced. “But President Zelensky did not give up and I think we can be grateful,” he also said for the applause of French parliamentarians.

According to Bayrou, the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian tanks on February 24, 2022, marked a “inclination between two worlds”. Prior to this time, he said, there were “guarantees between nations that could be evoked, treated that could be marked, resolutions that could be invoked, commitments that could be reminded.”

From the Russian invasion and, even more, from Trump’s return to the White House, “we have been aware to accept the practices we reject, to review the maps of our freedoms, to rethink the rules of democracy and freedom of expression, to abandon our concern for the decency,” he said. From now on, “the force alone, the violence and the brutality are sufficient to resolve the conflicts”, continued Bayro, moving the “end of the law, reign of the law of the most powerful.”
