EKO HOT BLOG reports that France’s president, Emmanuel Macron has encouraged troops to maintain their “moral strength” in the face of conflict at Europe’s doorstep.

“War is returning, fully and cruelly, on European soil, and it reminds us of the tragedies of history,” Emmanuel Macron said during a traditional address to military personnel ahead of Bastille Day.

“We now rediscover that the moral strength of our nation should absolutely be cultivated, encouraged and developed.”

Macron said the government aims to fulfil its commitment as part of a military budget law that projected to allot 50 billion euros ($50.17 bn) for the military by 2025, amid the Ukraine war.

The president also said more investment will be needed for defence, adding that industries should “change our paradigm” on how defence projects are handled.
