“We are in a new stage of the war.” Guest of BFMTV-RMC this Wednesday morning, Dominique de Villepin highlights in particular “the difficulties encountered by Russia and its projects frustrated by the successful Ukrainian counter-offensive”. According to him, in the face of these setbacks, Moscow’s strategy is changing.
“Russia wants to terrorize the Ukrainian population, that’s why the cities are in the crosshairs,” explains the former foreign minister.
“Gather as many countries as possible against the West”
For the former minister, Russia also intends to “destroy any resistance in Ukraine as winter approaches.” “Vladimir Putin wants to win precious months to win perhaps the most important battle for him: that of world opinion,” he adds.
Dominique de Villepin analyzes, in effect, that the Russian president seeks above all to “gather the largest number of countries against the West”, “against what he considers the absolute domination and Western domination of the peoples of the world”.
“Emerging world countries are suffering. They are in the front line and are easy prey for Vladimir Putin”, adds Dominique de Villepin.
It is in this battle, that of world leadership, that France must play its role, according to the former minister. “We must be in the front line, which is not only Ukraine but the suffering of the peoples and the division of the world”, affirms Dominique de Villepin.
