EU flags outside the organization's headquarters in Brussels. Archival photo MOSCOW, June 13 The countries of the European Union will have to revise their budgets due to the supply of weapons to Ukraine, this is exactly the signal French President Emmanuel Macron gave his colleagues, a member of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption told RIA Novosti Adalbi Shkhagoshev.Earlier, Macron called on the Ministry of Defense to revise the law on military programming for 2019-2025 in light of the conflict in Ukraine. «Macron's statement contradicts his own program as a presidential candidate. The transition to a military economy is a signal to other EU countries that they will have to make up for losses in their military budget from their own budgets due to the supply of weapons to Ukraine,» — the politician emphasized. As the parliamentarian added, Macron's similar message to other EU countries to follow their example «may accelerate the recession of the EU. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on 24 February. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass.
