PARIS (AP) 鈥� France鈥檚 prime minister decried the U.S. pause on providing military aid to Ukraine as 鈥渦nbearable鈥� on Tuesday, describing it as tantamount to abandoning Ukrainians and allowing for a possible victory by Russia.

鈥淭he word 鈥榮uspension鈥� fools no one,鈥� Prime Minister Fran莽ois Bayrou said, addressing French senators and mounting what was his second sharp criticism of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump in as many days.

鈥淭he suspension in war of assistance to an aggressed country signifies that the aggressed country is being abandoned and that one accepts 鈥� or hopes 鈥� that its aggressor wins,鈥� he said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 obviously unbearable,鈥� Bayrou said.

The French premier, a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron, also argued against strong pressure that the White House is exerting on Ukraine to give in. Bayrou said that Ukraine needs to keep fighting for its very survival.

鈥淚f Russia stops fighting, the war stops. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine disappears,” Bayrou said.

Macron’s prime minister, appointed in December, has become one of the sharpest French critics of the abrupt U-turn in Washington’s policy on Ukraine that Trump has executed since he and U.S. Vice President JD Vance publicly berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an explosive meeting last week.

In an address on Monday to France’s lower house of parliament, the prime minister decried the Oval Office thrashing of Zelenskyy as a 鈥渟taggering鈥� show of 鈥渂rutality鈥� that aimed to humiliate Ukraine鈥檚 leader and bend him to the will of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Speaking to lawmakers again on Tuesday, Bayrou argued that the U.S. suspension of military aid could have repercussions both on and off the battlefields for Ukraine, impacting not only supplies of munitions, intelligence and communications and other military assistance, but also Ukrainian morale.

鈥淭he Ukrainians feel terribly abandoned and terribly alone,鈥� he said.

Separately, French Defense Minister S茅bastien Lecornu posted a video of what he described as “dangerous behavior” by a Russian Su-35 fighter jet that he said buzzed a French Reaper drone that was conducting a surveillance mission in international airspace over the eastern Mediterranean on Sunday.

“Three successive close passes, which could have led to the loss of control of the drone, demonstrated an intent to restrict free air circulation in shared spaces,” the defense minister posted on X.

鈥淭his was a deliberate, unprofessional, and aggressive action that is unacceptable.鈥�
