Macron is the leader of France. AFAIK there's no common EU position on this.

I think this is the No True Scotsman fallacy [1].

> Europe is asking Ukraine to halt destruction of Russia's oil infrastructure.

> Europe is not asking for this.

> France is asking Ukraine to halt destruction of Russia's oil infrastructure.

> No true European is asking for this.

All I was trying to say is this wasn't a request on the EU level. I assume by Europe you meant EU. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct that indeed France made the proposal that Russia stops destroying Ukrainian energy infrastructure and Ukraine would do the same thing. France as a country has that right to make such proposals. That doesn't make it a request or proposal on the EU level.

I have no idea how the no true scotsman fallacy applies to this. Maybe I'm missing something here
