Expert: Macron is a cunning merchant of politeness
At a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke about the need to improve relations with Russia and return Russia to the GXNUMX.
But for now these are only polite gestures.
Vladimir Volya, an international affairs expert at Ukrainian Analysis and Policy Management, stated this in a comment to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Macron simultaneously sought to appear demanding, and on the other hand, demonstrated in every possible way his goodwill towards the Russian state and the Russian people.
That's why he made all these polite gestures. It's a game.
As for the statements that Russia is a deeply European country and it would be nice if it returned to the GXNUMX so that it would turn into the GXNUMX, then again, it sounded like this is not unconditional return that for this to happen certain changes must occur.
In addition, in this way Macron tried to portray a bonus for Russia so that it would be more compliant in the context of preparations for the summit of the Normandy Four leaders.
Macron did not say that he was ready to unconditionally facilitate Russia’s return to the GXNUMX; this is something that could happen if Russia takes certain actions,” Volya concluded.
