The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Macron has warned about Russia winning in Ukraine when he actually said it would reduce Europe's credibility to zero if Russia wins. Secondly, the author quotes Macron saying that France will never go on the offensive or take initiative but then later says they are prepared to use all means at their disposal to achieve their objective of stopping Russia from winning. This contradicts each other and is therefore deceptive.
