Emmanuel Macron, who spoke after the “voluntary coalition” meeting this Sunday, August 17, says Vladimir Putin does not want peace.
“I think President Putin wants peace? The answer is no. I think President Trump wants peace? Yes,” he said, adding that his Russian counterpart “wants the capitulation of Ukraine.”
Given this threat, the President of the Republic wishes “a powerful, strong and free Europe that can assume his” responsibilities. “He continues:” If we are weak with Russia today, we prepare the conflicts of tomorrow. “
A Russian “imperialist and revisionist”
The French Head of State has pointed out an “imperialist and revisionist Russian power that since 2008″ has continued wanting to conquer new territories, has continued to review international borders, has never respected its promises of peace and non -aggression. ” In an “extremely serious” context, “plays” a significant moment in the conflict and for the security of Ukraine. “
On the key issue of territorial questions, Emmanuel Macron reiterated his desire to automatically include Ukraine in discussions. “There can be no territorial discussions about Ukraine without Ukrainian leaders.”
Add: “Any agreement would be based on the absence of a Ukrainian army, on a reduction in the Ukrainian army, it would be an agreement dedicated to not being respected.”
