Ukraine condemns Macron’s statements on ‘non-humiliation of Russia’

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba today criticized French President Emanuel Macron’s calls for “non-humiliation” of Russia, saying that this position could “only humiliate France”.

“Calls to avoid humiliating Russia can only humiliate France or any other country. Because Russia is humiliating itself. Better to focus on how to put Russia in its place. This will bring peace and save lives,” Kuleba said. in a post on twitter.

The French president reiterated that “we must not humiliate Russia” – a stance that has provoked reactions in Eastern Europe – “so that on the day the fighting stops, we can find a way out through diplomacy”.

The French president is one of the few Western leaders trying to maintain a dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

France is providing financial and military support to Ukraine, but Macron has not yet visited Kyiv, and many of his European counterparts have already done so.

Pressed to go to Ukraine, the French head of state, who holds the rotating presidency of the European Union until June 30, replied yesterday Friday: “Today, I do not rule anything out.”
