President Macron has spoken out! With the upcoming meeting between the leaders of the United States and Russia, French President Macron stated that Ukraine's future cannot be decided without the participation of Ukrainians - they have fought for freedom and security for more than three years, and we will continue to support Ukraine with a spirit of solidarity, and cooperate within the framework of the "Volunteer Alliance" to ensure Ukraine's security in a possible Russia-Ukraine peace agreement.
Macron emphasized that European countries will necessarily participate in the solution, as it concerns European security. We will continue to maintain close coordination with Zelenskyy and European partners. Obviously, at the time when the heads of state of the US and Russia are about to meet, Macron's statement actually only means one thing: Ukraine must be at the negotiation table, and Europe must also be at the negotiation table. The resolution of the Russia-Ukraine issue cannot be decided solely by the US and Russia.
However, although Macron expressed his commitment to cooperate within the framework of the "Volunteer Alliance" and support Ukraine with a spirit of solidarity, when Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine would not give up its territory, Macron did not express support for Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty this time, nor did he express a stronger commitment to support Ukraine. What does this indicate? It indicates that France may be tacitly approving the proposal of sacrificing Ukrainian territory for peace. Obviously, after the dialogue between the US and Russia, there will inevitably be a dialogue between the US and Ukraine, but whether Europe can be at the negotiation table is uncertain, which is a harsh reality for Europe.
