French Illusions About Dialogue With Putin
Kyiv Post says On Jan. 28 French President Emmanuel Macron spoke to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in an attempt to calm tensions over NATO expansion towards the East. But the Kremlin is sticking to its guns and sulking because the West has refused its demands.
Emmanuel Macron’s extremely delicate mission was to suggest a path towards de-escalating the critical situation in Ukraine. What came out of it? The Russians were the first to give their feedback on this attempt at mediation. Not surprisingly, Putin repeated that he was not satisfied. According to the statement released by the Kremlin, Putin told Macron that the West was not paying attention to Russian concerns about the expansion of NATO.
According to the same source, the Russian president argued that: “the central question has been ignored, namely how the United States and its allies were planning to follow the key principle that no country will seek to bolster its own security at the expense of another country.”
