We must speak with Russia in the same language – the language of the balance of power. We are very naive when we think that we can impose restrictions at a time when it is Russia that is violating international law and trying to impose what the foreign policy of European countries should be. History has shown us that when countries allow their foreign policy to be dictated by an imperialist state that believes its borders are unlimited, it can lead to an outbreak, Sejurnoe noted.
According to him, France has never had an ambiguous attitude towards Russia.
To stand up to Russia means to defend the French and the world. This is real patriotism,” the minister added.
Among other things, the French Foreign Minister supported the idea that foreign troops could enter Ukraine, for example, to help clear the territories.
Russia should not tell us how we should help Ukraine in the coming months or years. Russia should not orchestrate our actions or set red lines. Therefore, we are deciding this among ourselves, Sezhurnoye noted at a meeting with his Baltic colleagues and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, Politico reported on March 10.
The publication writes that the Baltic ministers praised France for thinking outside the box at the meeting with Sejourne.
It should not tell us how we should help Ukraine in the coming months or years. It is not up to Russia to organize how we deploy our actions, or to set red lines. Therefore, we are deciding this among ourselves,” Sezhurnoye said.
There can be no “buts” here. We must draw red lines for Russia, not for ourselves. No form of support for Ukraine can be excluded. We must continue to support Ukraine where it needs it most,” his Lithuanian colleague supported.
The day before, the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry said that some NATO members already have their own military personnel in Ukraine, but did not specify who they were talking about. So far we know for sure about the UK.
