French President Emmanuel Macron underscores the importance of maintaining dialogue with Russia despite its current rejection of peace, following a recent diplomatic visit to Moscow.
Emmanuel Macron recently spoke with media outlets including "Suddeutsche Zeitung" and "El Pais" about the significance of his diplomatic efforts with Russia. This discussion followed the visit of Emmanuel Bonne, a key advisor to Macron, to Moscow β the first high-level visit since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. During this conversation, Macron highlighted that while Russia is not currently seeking peace, the relationship must not be completely severed, as Russia will continue to be a pivotal player on the global stage.
