Drones were launched toward an EU nation (Cyprus). As an ally and one of the main EU military powers, France couldn’t just turn a blind eye.
Oh I didn’t think of it thay way. I suppose this is showing my ignorance but I didn’t realize Cyprus was even in the EU
It is a member since 2004, adopted the euro as its official currency since 2008.
But it is in a rather complicated situation since half of its territory is occupied by Türkiye (Turkey).
Thanks for telling me that. I did already know about the territorial issues but not the EU situation so that gives me a much better understanding.
