French President Emmanuel Macron gets panned for agreeing to Kremlin on security guarantees to put an end to the war in Ukraine. He got criticized for giving Moscow's side by some sectors that rejected them since it started ten months ago.
Macron Says Ukraine Conflict Can End with NATO Guarantees
Macron stated that Europe must prepare its future security infrastructure in a question-and-answer session with French television station TF1 documented during his state visit to the United States the other week, reported Euronews.
He added that NATO should address the concern or Vladimir Putin's that the military bloc dares to get close enough to be a threat to Russia.
This will deal with the particular topic of making peace and the necessity of doing what must be done, how to shield allies and member states, and offer assurances to Russia whenever it returns to the bargaining table, noted News Yahoo.
Leaders like Lithuania's former minister of defense and foreign affairs, Linas Linkevicius, slammed the concept that security guarantees must be supplied to the Russian state. As said by Linkevicius, Russia has every assurance if it doesn't strike, annex, or occupy its neighbor.
On Sunday, Linkevicius asserted that Russia has all assurances when it does not strike, adjoins, or inhibit its neighbor, in his Twitter post.
French Leader Macron added that anybody who wants to develop a new security framework that allows a terrorist nation to continue using bullying tactics must rethink their proposals since they won't be possible.
Security Guarantees Are Not Mutual
As usual, Kyiv and its representative presidential advisor, Mykhailo Podolyak, used the forum on Twitter to bluster and smear Moscow, saying that it's the opposite and that the civilized world, according to Ukraine, needs protection from Russia after Putin is gone.
Podolyak explained that Russia is responsible for the hostilities, and it should pay for the alleged decisions of Kyiv not to negotiate. Another is saying the Kremlin is guilty even before facts are presented at a tribunal.
Russia and the US have both told reporters they have been open to discussions in principle, though President Joe Biden has said he will only talk to Putin when the Kremlin chief shows he is willing to participate in ending the conflict.
Kievan leaders will engage Russia if its armed forces stop its attack that has ravaged its forces in the lines of contact, then pulls out troops actively decimating the AFU forces by the dozen.
West, Ukrainians Do Not Want To Lose Face After Crimea
Many within Ukraine and the West are firmly opposed to negotiating with Putin that might reward him with compromises, particularly as Ukraine has allegedly forced Russian forces back from massive swaths in the previous three months.
Macron's responses, however, give the impression that he was accommodating to Moscow's demand for assurances, which had been the subject of intense but fruitless dialogue in the run-up to the conflict.
The armed services infrastructure of NATO in Europe should be lowered to 1997 levels, there should be no more NATO enlargement, and there should be no missile deployments closer to its frontiers. Washington had never planned to listen to Russia.
