Le Drian: I’m not sure Putin expected the situation to change that way

I’m not sure Putin expected that to happen. He lost the battle of communication, found Europe united and faced strong resistance in Ukraine. This was stated by French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian on a French television station.

The French minister went on to say that from now on the Russian president will also have to do with the economic suffocation, while at the same time implying that France may confiscate all the assets of Russian oligarchs in its territory.

The French minister again ruled out sending French troops to Ukraine, saying the French embassy would leave Kyiv but would remain in Ukraine. authorities do not appear to have any intention of blocking the exit to the south.

Asked by a journalist if Russia’s recognition of the annexation of Crimea was under discussion, he declined to answer directly, saying that what matters now is an immediate ceasefire. Finally, he stated that in the next few hours they will stop broadcasting in France media of Russian interests, pointing out that this is a European decision.
