Six member states of the #EU sent representatives to the inauguration ceremony of Russian President Vladimir #Putin today. They include #France, #Hungary and #Slovakia, Radio Liberty reported.

The presidential inauguration is standard in #Russia, despite this being Putin's third consecutive term in office. 20 EU countries did not send officials, showing splits in the bloc over relations with #Moscow.

French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed he did not rule out sending troops to Ukraine, saying the issue would “legitimately” arise if Russia broke through Ukrainian front lines and Kyiv made such a request, in an interview with the Economist published Thursday.

“Europe is mortal. It can die,” French President Emmanuel Macron warned in a Paris speech, urging the European Union to become more self-sufficient in a rapidly changing world. “The era when the EU bought its energy and fertilizer from Russia, outsourced its production to China and depended on the US for its security — that era is over,” he said. Macron struck a much more urgent and alarmist tone than a more optimistic 2017 speech he gave about similar issues facing the continent. The BBC has more about his warnings and how they connect to upcoming elections.

France's Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft carrier to deploy first time for Mediterranean Mission

> In a historic move, the Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft carrier will be deployed under #NATO command for the first time, embarking on a mission in the Mediterranean aimed at demonstrating #France’s commitment to the alliance, particularly in light of #Russia’s actions in #Ukraine.

...#DeGaulle's old weariness of #American supremacy materializes like #Cassandra's predictions in the #Illias for #Europeans. Their own current impotence is becoming more evident by the day. It cannot be overcome in the short term.
Even #France's president has now, finally, agreed to buy ammunition on the global market instead of buying (non-existent specimen) locally.

Western Europe woke up too late, #Ukraine should have joined #NATO a decade ago, as the #US had...
