Poland and Baltic nations welcome Macron’s nuclear deterrent proposal

Associated Press  

BRUSSELS — Poland and Baltic nations welcomed Thursday a proposal by French President Emmanuel Macron to launch talks about using France’s nuclear deterrent to protect the continent from Russian threats, a move Moscow quickly dismissed as “extremely confrontational.” The comments came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joined European Union leaders in Brussels for an emergency summit on defense and security. On Wednesday, Macron said he has decided to open a “strategic debate” on using France’s nuclear deterrent to protect European allies amid concerns over potential U.S. disengagement. Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose country holds the EU’s rotating presidency, said “we must seriously consider this proposal.” He noted that “as always, the details matter, but France’s willingness in this regard is very significant.” Baltic nations also showed interest in Macron’s offering as they push for more defense spending by EU countries to avoid any future aggression by neighboring Russia. Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nausėda praised a “very interesting idea.” “We have high expectations because a nuclear umbrella would serve as really very serious deterrence towards Russia,” Nausėda said.
