EU trembles before Putin's plan: sensitive report on Macron's move for NATO soldiers in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron (left) wanted to keep Putin in the Kremlin.
At the beginning of April it became public that Macron wanted to push German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) to take a tougher course on Ukraine. Putin apparently wants to recruit up to 150,000 more soldiers for military service (or force them to do so) The number mentioned could be interpreted as an indication of a next Russian offensive in the summer of 2024.
