Ukraine (bbabo.net), - In making a decision on the supply of Leclerc tanks to Ukraine, the French authorities cannot do without discussing this issue in the country's parliament. This was stated on January 26 by representatives of leftist parties that are in opposition to the current government.

“Are we ready to take the risk of an armed conflict with Russia? In this matter, the president cannot make a decision alone, ”said Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the French Communist Party, in particular. According to him, military issues should first of all be discussed in Parliament, notes Le Figaro.

In turn, Manuel Bompard, a deputy from the largest opposition faction in the Parliament, Unconquered France, stressed that if a decision needs to be made on the issue of tank supplies, then it is impossible to do without discussing it in the National Assembly.

As bbabo.net reported, the day before, on January 25, Prime Minister Elisabeth Born said that France continues to study the possibility of sending its Leclerc heavy tanks to Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron outlined the terms for the delivery of heavy tanks to Ukraine last weekend, saying that "nothing is out of the question" for now. According to the owner of the Elysee Palace, any decision to provide them should not be an "escalation" of the conflict, should offer "real and effective" benefits for Ukraine and should not undermine the defense capability of France.
