New Delhi, March 6 -- French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday said Russia was a threat to France and Europe, warning that the Kremlin is expanding its army with thousands of additional tanks and hundreds of jets.

In a televised address, Macron took note of the war in Ukraine.

"Russia has become a threat to France and Europe. Moscow plans to further expand its army, with 3,000 additional tanks and 300 fighter jets," he said.

The French President also questioned whether Russia would stop at that.

"Who can believe Russia will stop at Ukraine," he asked, while noting that peace can only return to Europe if the Russian threat is pacified.

"Peace will return to Europe through a pacified Russia," he said.
