Yes, but Pukin is on a ride-or-die commitment to take Ukraine. Literally. He won’t survive looking weak and retreat.
So if Macron hopes to scare Putin into retreating, he won’t succeed, cuz he can’t retreat. Macron has to follow trough unless he too wants to look weak or undecided or whatever. It’s not as lethal in France, but it’s not good politically. So who knows where this ends. Hopefully the US gets it shit together and prevent the need for NATO boots on the ground. But I’m not entirely hopeful.
