PARIS, March 15, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that Russia would not halt its territorial ambitions if it wins its war in Ukraine, posing a threat to the neighbouring countries of Moldova, Romania and Poland.

"Russia has become a power that wants to expand and it's clear that it will not stop there," Macron posted on X after an interview on French TV. "If we abandon Ukraine, if we let Ukraine lose this war, Russia will surely threaten Moldova, Romania, Poland."
