Macron: "Russia hopes to gain a breathing space, which is wrong"
"Nothing will make us abandon Ukraine or the efforts we have made there. ... Our support for Ukraine will not weaken."
I said on February 24th: The current situation already means threefold failure for Moscow - strategically, economically and morally.
Now, Russia may think that the war in the direction of Iran will give it a breathing space. It is wrong.
Two days ago, the G7 summit I chaired confirmed on Wednesday again: A rise in oil prices must not lead us to reconsider our sanctions policy against Russia.
This is the position of the Group of Seven, of course also the position of France and Europe.
Similarly puzzling is that Russia calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East, while stubbornly refusing, for over a year, any form of ceasefire in Ukraine proposed by President Trump and others.
On February 24th, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution with 107 votes supporting a lasting peace in Ukraine, calling for an immediate, comprehensive, and unconditional ceasefire. Russia once again vetoed this resolution. It does not defend peace anywhere."
