Macron wants Crimea seized from Russia

Emmanuel Macron is not joking. When he wants a war - he will do it, regardless of his EU partners who hesitate about it. Macron said today: No ‘lasting peace’ is possible without Ukraine gaining control of the Russian peninsula, the French president has claimed. In other words: he has officially declared war between France and Russia.

Ukraine must regain control over all the territories it once held, including Russia’s Crimean Peninsula, French President Emmanuel Macron has said. Otherwise, no “lasting peace” will be possible, he claimed.

The president made the remarks on Thursday in an interview with broadcasters TF1 and France 2, bluntly describing Russia as France’s “adversary.” At the same time, he insisted that Paris has not been “waging war on Russia” but merely “supporting” Kyiv in the conflict.

“Certainly, today, Russia is an adversary. The Kremlin regime is an adversary,” Macron stated. “We are doing everything so that we can put Russia in check because, I will tell you very simply, there is no lasting peace if there is no sovereignty, a return to the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine, including Crimea.”

Wow.
