#Macron following #G7:
“#NATO has made a choice to support #Ukraine in this war without going to war with #Russia”
France and other NATO allies will continue arming Ukraine. “We want this to be efficient but we do not want to be cobelligérant”

#Macron shows a chart showing France’s contribution to securing #NATO’s eastern frontier.
He says this will be coordinated by EU, as part of NATO efforts, not in competition with it.

🇫🇷Macron says he (and 🇩🇪🇮🇹) pressed #G7 partners 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇯🇵🇨🇦 to "show solidarity in the management of #UkraineRefugees".
"For reasons of geography Europe of course is the first destination." 3.5 million have come to EU. Other 4 in G7 not taking refugees without hard-to-get visas.

The pressure from 🇪🇺 for solidarity seems to have had an effect on 🇺🇸Joe Biden, who just now pledged to take in 100,000 #UkraineRefugees.
Will 🇬🇧Boris Johnson make a similar announcement today to take in some refugees that are now almost all in the EU?

Macron says he will not spell out the red lines that would turn France from a non-belligerent to a belligerent in this war. "I want to be very cautious about that"
But he says France & NATO should do everything short of becoming a cobelligerent.
BTW here's graphic he showed B4:

#Macron asked about #NATO conclusions on #China (they call on 🇨🇳 not to aid Russia, rumours others wanted to condemn 🇨🇳 but 🇫🇷 and others opposed).
"I don’t think that China is a NATO matter," he says. "NATO is about the North Atlantic." He believes China opposes #UkraineWar.

"NATO has just undergone a big shock," says #Macron.
"Not too long ago I was talking about it being braindead. Now there’s a shock therapy, and there’s a new situation with a war launched by Russia against one of our neighbours."

On #China, 🇮🇹Italian PM Mario #Draghi just echoed #Macron's words about the lack of a condemnation in #NATO conclusions.
“There has been no condemnation of China. On the contrary, there is a hope that China will contribute to the peace-building process.”
