French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné spoke about the situation in Ukraine in an interview on French television channel LCI on Tuesday evening. “We are experiencing a tipping point which must lead us to stand up to Russia and we must play on the balance of power to protect the French, protect the Europeans,” he said.

The French minister judged that there was “a risk of generalized Frexit ” after these elections and “probably a risk of blocking of institutions”
