Please explain because all I see is a guy that has been instrumental in getting critical military aid to the Ukrainians.
Remember that France was the number one supplier of military aid to Ukraine from 2014 up to the eve of the current invasion.
The French supplied Caesars are arguably the best artillery system the Ukrainians have short of the HIMARS and have been instrumental in the war.
And then Macron got the snowball rolling on western tanks by pledging the AMX-10...
U mad because he engages in diplomacy at the same time he facilitates weapons to Ukraine?

Surely there are surplus export versions without that armor.

This isn't really a statement that they think the war is going to last years.
The Ukrainian military is 90% Soviet/Russian eastern bloc equipment.
Russia is now forever gone as a supplier for the Ukrainian military. It's NATO or bust from here. There's no plan B.
Norway is saying they're going to be part of that longer term transition.

His belief that the invasion wouldn't actually happen didn't stop him from sending military aid to the Ukrainians in the event he was wrong...
