Macron: there can be no peace in Ukraine until Russia is defeated
France’s president Emmanuel Macron has said that there can be no peace in Ukraine until Russia is defeated. At the Munich security conference he said “The hour of dialogue hasn’t come yet, because Russia chose war. Russia chose to target civilian infrastructure and commit war crimes. Russia’s attack must fail.”
“Unity and determination are important to provide Ukraine with the means to go back to the negotiation table in an acceptable fashion, and to work on long term peace under conditions that the Ukrainians have decided upon,” he added.
Macron spoke about the mercenary Wagner group, saying that when he spoke to Vladimir Putin a year ago he “almost believed him” that he had nothing to do with the Wagner group, but that it is now clear with the activity in Ukraine that they act like a “mafia” tool to commit crimes.
Macron said Russia was doomed to “a defeat in the future”, with Russia’s aggression having consolidated Ukraine’s statehood as a country, driven Finland and Sweden to apply to join Nato, and put European countries more in mind of self-defence.
