Macron Says the Ukraine Can’t Defeat Russia, Negotiation Only Path to End Conflict

by Chris Black

Macron is off the reservation. 

What do you mean negotiate?

We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

We will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine “will only end at the negotiating table,” French President Emmanuel Macron has said.

 

Macron called for a “negotiated peace” between the neighbors during an interview on Thursday with BFM TV aboard his plane returning from the UN General Assembly session in New York.

 

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said earlier this month that Moscow “didn’t reject” the idea of talks with Kiev, but warned that the longer the Ukrainian side delayed them, the harder it would be for common ground to be found.

Speaking about the Western role in the conflict in Ukraine, Macron insisted that “our duty is to hold our line.” And that line, according to him, is “helping Kiev to protect its territory and never to attack Russia.”

 

We are not at war with Russia,” the French president assured.
