This week, So French goes deep into one urgent question: what is France really doing in the war in #Ukraine — and what does it mean for #Europe’s future?

Two major shocks landed almost at the same time:

🔹 Donald Trump’s surprise 28-point “peace plan”

🔹 A French-Ukrainian deal for up to 100 Rafale fighter jets over the coming decade

Grand promises, geopolitical theatre… and hard realities.

To separate strategy from storytelling, Stef and Sara speak with Élie Tenenbaum, director of security studies at IFRI , France’s leading foreign policy institute. Why is France so far behind Denmark in real support to Ukraine? Why did Macron change course? And why is Europe watching peace talks between Washington and Moscow from the corridor?

Expect blunt numbers, complicated truths… and a surprising conclusion about Europe’s strength.
