The French leader said he intended to act as a mediator. But he could not handle the role of European leader, observers said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to another call from French President Emmanuel Macron to “not embarrass Russia.” The French leader believes that “Russia’s embarrassment” could damage the search for a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine after the end of the conflict. Macron’s statement has been criticized both in Ukraine and in Europe. Athletistic telling details.
Macron again demanded to “save Putin’s face”
“I don’t quite understand what a shame Russia is. What kind of Russia? What are we talking about? That for years, more than eight, they’ve been killing our people. What are we talking about? “, The President of Ukraine Volodymyr asked such questions to Zelensky in an interview with the Financial Times published on June 7.
Zelensky noted that Macron was “deeply immersed in the process” of the war Russia unleashed against Ukraine.
“One of the leaders of the Normandy Four, he perfectly understands the details of the Minsk document, all the agreements with the Russian side under Normandy 4, non -fulfillment of agreements, ongoing disruption,” the president said. .
At the same time, the Ukrainian leader noted that Ukraine is not embarrassed in this matter, but killed.
“I do not think they are embarrassing Ukraine, because it is a weak position. No one is embarrassing us, they are killing us. Therefore, we will not embarrass anyone in return, we will respond with the same tool,” he added.
At the end of last week, Macron made another statement defending Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. “[Россия не должна быть] embarrassed … for the day the fighting stops, we can move forward diplomatically, “he said in an interview with regional media.
The French president also said that Russia’s war against Ukraine had “separated” Russian leader Vladimir Putin, noting that over the past six months he had talked to him on the phone with at least 100 time.
In these conversations, Macron claims that he told Putin that “he has made a historic and fundamental mistake for his people, for himself and for history.” The French leader added that he had talked to Putin at Zelensky’s request.
In the past, he has used words about “Russia’s shame.” And in mid -May, the Ukrainian president said Macron had offered him to give up Ukrainian sovereignty in order to save Putin’s face.
“Macron wanted to find some results through between us. He didn’t find it. And not from our side, he didn’t find it from Russia. But he offered me some things related to concessions to our sovereignty to save Putin’s face ”he told Italian journalists.
What the press wrote about Macron’s calls
The president of France continues to talk about European sovereignty, but at the most decisive moment, when sovereignty itself must be defended, he hides in the bushes, writes political scientist Sebastian Bugalho in the pages of the Portuguese newspaper Diário of News.
According to him, Macron was “a man of concepts, but not a true statesman.”
“One thing is to maintain the channels of communication between the West and the Kremlin, and another to silence the aggressor in the midst of the conflict. He wants to re -establish European relations with Moscow and further share in the victory. Parade and forced to organize his statements about the integrity of the territory in Ukraine, – so, this person should change his tone, “the expert wrote.
Putin was shocked. Reaction to Kissinger about Ukraine
The German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau wrote that Macron was trying to catch up with the long -running train.
“Saving the world through the hands of French diplomacy: as if only a few smart people at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Quai d’Orsay were needed to develop some more new compromise documents, such as Minsk-3, Minsk-4 or 5, and everything is in ointment. Only in this way no problems will be solved, “the paper said.
The publication states that against the backdrop of the war unleashed by Russia, all European democracies should immediately rally – “without any secret motive.”
However, Macron always tries to emphasize his country’s special role as a “mediating power”- as if France is different from other countries, as if it has a special soul or is overshadowed by some incredible incredible genius, ”Frankfurter Rundschau said. confused.
Macron could state his position more clearly and more clearly, the French newspaper Le Point notes.
“Diplomacy and military means can be used at the same time – this is not new. However, the balance he chooses can be better defended … Of course, Macron’s visit to Kyiv will bring more benefits. This will make him more understand – quite worthy! – a discourse according to which the unequivocal support for Ukraine today does not mean that one should not imagine what will happen tomorrow, “believes the publication .

After such statements, it becomes a disgrace for France and the President. Ash Vin is relatively short -sighted, otherwise the FSB would have dug up a good compromise of evidence on him. Therefore, France can no longer be a mediator. “Rashism” is the same as communism and Nazism. Yogo needs punishment https://t.co/pW3xUsa5k1

“Makron forbids embarrassing Russia”
It’s embarrassing to compromise with fascists – France doesn’t seem to have thought of it since the 1940s!– per4atki (@Per4atkiPav) June 4, 2022
Macron called Putin back, and then he said again that it was not possible for Russia to “shrink” through the war with Ukraine for the sake of “if the fighting ends, we can pave a diplomatic path.” Macron is the disgrace of France. Zhalyugidniy left https://t.co/gjPdrcLbCf

Macron again urged Russia not to be embarrassed. He will either offer to surrender the territory, or save Putin’s face. Brothels for Russian soldiers in Paris will likely soon open.

On the role of personality in history.
Biden, Johnson and Duda led the Free World to a turning point in history.
Scholz and Macron became pitiful and worthless.

A lowly country, a country creature that massively kills civilians. destroying cities, raping and kidnapping children “made a mistake, he should be forgiven” … Oh, you French foul …!
