France: It would be wrong to make Putin’s expulsion a prerequisite for resolving Ukraine

In favor of a strategy that will lead Russian President Vladimir Putin to the conclusion that he has “made a strategic mistake” in the Ukraine issue, that he can not impose himself militarily, nor to divide the alliance against him, and that he therefore has only one path left. is the consultation, says former French Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin.

Speaking to a group of European media reporters, Dominique de Villepin, who is remembered by many as the politician who said Paris’s “no” to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, said it would be wrong to make it a prerequisite for a solution. in Ukrainian Putin’s expulsion. “It’s not just Putin. There is a system, a way of thinking, a software, a culture. That’s the whole point,” he said.

He noted that “when we change the tyrant in Syracuse, we risk the one who comes to be worse than the outgoing one” and reminded that the overthrow of dictators in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya “created an undesirable chaos.”

According to de Villepin, Putin, knowing that in Russia from the 19th century Crimean War to the 1989 war in Afghanistan, every military defeat resulted in a political upheaval, would seize an opportunity that would allow him to remain in office. “without creating the image of the Russian people that they lost the war.”

In conclusion, Dominique de Villepin is in favor of the continued escalation of economic and political sanctions against Russia, so that Putin will at some point realize that the higher the military, the greater the cost to himself and his country. For this to happen, however, almost all the countries of the world will have to start, starting with China, India, Turkey, Israel, etc. to give him the message that he is on the wrong path, notes the former prime minister and head of French diplomacy.
