Macron criticizes Russia’s role as a “destabilizing power” in Europe
The French president criticized Russia’s role as a “destabilizing power” in Europe and, in the context of the invasion of Ukraine, called on the European continent to “not close any doors,” since Moscow “does not impose limits.”
“Today [a Rússia] “has decisively decided to become a destabilizing power that does not impose strategic limits on its actions,” defended Emmanuel Macron in an interview with La Tribune Dimanche, as reported on Saturday by the newspaper Le Figaro.
Russia no longer has “a declared strategic objective” in Ukraine, as it had at the beginning, that of “saving the Ukrainian provinces that had declared their autonomy,” Macron denounced.
“All visibility must be removed, because that is what creates the deterrent capacity,” he defended.
“Russian enthusiasm shows that we are right not to close any doors. Otherwise, it means that we agree to renounce an international order based on law and, therefore, on peace and security,” added the French president.
Macron also highlighted the importance of maintaining dialogue with Moscow, arguing that “it is correct to leave the door open to negotiations” with the country.
Otherwise, he added, it would mean “abandoning international order, peace and security.”
