“French President Emmanuel Macron does not consider Washington to be an absolutely reliable partner.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that Macron does not consider the US an absolutely reliable partner is directly stated in a web search result from TASS, and this sentiment is echoed by the context of other web search results discussing US reliability concerns. While Wikipedia provides general biographical information, the specific political stance is corroborated by external news reporting.

“Macron said during a debate in Athens, Greece, organized by the Kathimerini newspaper.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence confirms Macron made statements regarding US reliability and Europe, and mentions a Franco-Greek defense agreement (Wikipedia). However, none of the provided evidence explicitly links his statements about US reliability to a debate organized by the Kathimerini newspaper in Athens. The TASS result mentions Nicosia, not Athens.

“Earlier, Macron said during a meeting with students in Nicosia that the United States will stop defending Europe in the long-term perspective.”
CORROBORATED
This claim is strongly corroborated. One web search result explicitly states that Macron made the remarks during a meeting with students in Nicosia that the US will stop defending Europe in the long term. Another web search result confirms Macron warned that the US could cease providing security guarantees to Europe, and this source specifies the remarks were made during a speech to school students in Nicosia.
