The Head of State noted that arms supplies to Kiev are capable of weakening France itself.PARIS, October 13.

/tass/. Paris cannot supply Kiev with all the weapons it asks for. This was stated on Wednesday in an interview with France 2 TV channel by French President Emmanuel Macron.

He agreed with the TV presenter that the supply of weapons to Kiev could weaken France itself. "This is really a problem, and it arises every time it comes to military supplies," Macron said. "That is why we cannot supply Ukraine with as many weapons as it asks for," the French leader stressed.

"President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky asks me to send a certain amount of weapons, but I have to leave some of them for us to protect ourselves and the eastern flank of NATO," Macron explained.

He stressed that France "helps Ukraine to resist on its soil, but not in order to attack Russia." "We are not a party to this conflict," Macron said.

He recalled that "France has been helping Ukraine with weapons since the very beginning of the conflict." In the coming weeks, as Macron noted, Paris, at the request of Ukraine, "plans to supply it with radars and air defense systems to repel air attacks."
