If Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine since 2022, is not stopped, “he will certainly move on to Moldova and perhaps further to Romania,” warns Emmanuel Macron in an interview with several Sunday newspapers.
The potential “disengagement” of the United States from Ukraine “is not in their interest,” asserts the French president in the weekly La Tribune Dimanche, because “what the United States has done over the past three years is entirely in line with their diplomatic and military tradition.” If Washington agrees to “sign a ceasefire without any security guarantees for Ukraine,” then its “geostrategic deterrence capacity against Russia, China and others would vanish the same day,” he argues.
The interview was granted to La Tribune Dimanche, JDD, Le Parisien, and Ouest-France.
