The President of France noted this during a joint conference with Volodymyr Zelensky, Olaf Scholz, Mario Draghi and Klaus Johannis. According to Channel 24, Emmanuel Macron strives for our state to win the war unjustly unleashed by Russia.
Dialogue with Russia is important
Emmanuel Macron noted that on a number of issues it is necessary to maintain a channel of dialogue with Russia. He cites food security as an example. Like, if it is possible to achieve certain success along the diplomatic path, then this must be done.
In addition, the opportunity to communicate with Russia will allow discussions to continue. The President of France stressed that he is calling Vladimir Putin on the phone not just on his own initiative. He does this because he received consent from Volodymyr Zelensky.
Emmanuel Macron recalled that France was one of the countries that tried to organize a discussion between Ukraine and Russia. For this, they organized a summit in Paris in 2019. During it, questions were raised about the Minsk agreements, which were frozen at that time.
The war is not over today. First you need to win this war. And here the position of France is quite clear: Ukraine must win this war,” Macron emphasized.
He added that when this is achieved, our state should not lose its integrity and sovereignty. And already after that, you will need to talk with the Russians.
