Highlights: For the first time since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, the President of the Republic requested a debate with a vote in the National Assembly. This Tuesday at 3 p.m., deputies and senators will take part in the exercise of debate followed by a vote, even if the latter is only consultative. “We support Ukraine, but…” is a sentence that no longer passes at all in Macron when it comes to evoking the war started more than two years ago at the gates of Europe.

“We support Ukraine, but…” This is a sentence that no longer passes at all in Macron when it comes to evoking the war started more than two years ago at the gates of Europe, “because if you say
