French President Macron wrote today (Beijing Time September 4): "Meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Paris ahead of the voluntary alliance conference. The security of the Ukrainian people is our own security. Europe is meeting challenges with strong security guarantees. We are ready to build a solid and lasting peace in Ukraine."
Zelenskyy responded: "Thank you Emmanuel, your clear vision and firm support. It is crucial for France to actively build strong security guarantees. I believe that we will work with all partners to create an effective security system."
[Sagacious] Comments: Macron's remarks seem somewhat overreaching. In this complex situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Macron tries to play the role of a peace designer but has no substantial measures. The so-called "strong security guarantees" by Europe are just empty talk, and the conflict continues without any reduction in security threats. In fact, Zelenskyy's response is merely polite and supportive. If France truly has the intention, it should put forward practical and feasible plans rather than just shouting slogans. From past experience, Macron clearly does not have the ability to be a designer of peace, he is just trying to show his presence on the international stage.
