Responding to a question about Putin, Macron said, “I think, and I told him, he made a historic and fundamental mistake for his people, for himself, and for his history.” Russia is still a great nation. I think he has isolated himself. It’s one thing to get into isolation, but it’s hard to know how to get out of it. ”
At the same time, Makron stated that “Russia should not be humiliated” so that it would be possible to find a way out of the situation through diplomatic channels on the day of the cessation of hostilities. “I am convinced that France has a role to play as a mediator,” he said.
Macron is one of the few European leaders to maintain a regular dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Italian news channel Rai 1 in mid-May that Macron had offered Ukraine a concession to Russia over its sovereignty to help Putin “keep his face.”
