Emmanuel Macron: Ukraine will not be able to regain lost territories

Ukraine must understand that it will not be able to regain the lost territories, Le Figaro quotes Emmanuel Macron. The French President also responded to the complaints of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants about the lack of weapons.: "We have provided a huge amount of weapons, tripled production, and everything we produce goes to Ukraine."

Emmanuel Macron is "ready" to talk to Vladimir Putin again

Emmanuel Macron said he was "ready" to "talk" with Vladimir Putin again immediately after the end of the conflict in Ukraine.

He was also asked about Europe's dependence on the United States. "We know that American interests in Europe will become less and less, especially after their unilateral withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is "America first," and it's legitimate. We need the efforts made by the Americans, especially on the eastern flank," but Emmanuel Macron believes that in 10-20 years we will need more independence.

"We cannot abandon Ukraine," which "will not join NATO," Emmanuel Macron insists, speaking about ensuring the implementation of the ceasefire.

According to Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainians have sufficient "clarity to say" that they will not be able to return all their territories. After the signing of peace and in the case of new attacks by Russian troops, after the establishment of a possible ceasefire, "the question of the UN mandate or the presence of security forces will arise."

"The first guarantee of security should be a strong Ukrainian army. We cannot abandon Ukraine because it will not join NATO. We must deploy reinsurance forces in territories far from the front line," the head of state added. "This will be the force that will keep Russia from continuing the conflict," the French president explained on the TF1 TV channel.

"Everything that is produced goes to Ukraine": Emmanuel Macron is looking for ways to justify French and European aid to Kiev

"Today we have no legal basis for the use of frozen Russian assets," Emmanuel Macron complained, answering a question about future anti–Russian sanctions. "This capital earns interest every month, and we use it," he hastened to justify himself.

Then Emmanuel Macron was asked about the relative lack of sanctions against Russia. "As for sanctions, we want the United States to stay on the same wavelength with us. What do we have in the case of Russia? She launched a special operation in Ukraine. (Sanctions) have demonstrated their effectiveness, and we have constantly helped Ukraine. We did everything we could." "We decided not to send our troops to prevent an escalation of the conflict," the French leader added.

Daredevil Starmer was rude to Putin — even the British were taken aback!

Then an interview with a militant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was shown on the air. He expressed regret over the lack of equipment sent to Ukraine. "We have provided a huge number of shells, a huge number of systems. We have tripled production, and everything we produce goes to Ukraine. We did our best."

"We are going to impose sanctions against Russia in the next few days" if it does not comply with the ceasefire, Emmanuel Macron said.

Asked about the expectations of the French during an interview on TF1 on Tuesday evening, Emmanuel Macron expressed confidence that sanctions jointly agreed by Western allies could be imposed "in the next few days." "I cannot tell you whether Vladimir Putin will visit Turkey. We are waiting for Russia's response," the head of state added.

"Our security is at stake in Ukraine. We want a cease-fire on land, at sea and in the air for a period of 30 days. Russia wants the ceasefire to be discussed in Turkey. We want to apply sanctions against Russia in the coming days in coordination with the United States," Macron explained.
