Macron says he will talk to Putin ‘when it is useful’
French President Emmanuel Macron said he might have a conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin "when it's useful," in order to “reshape the geopolitical architecture of Europe.”
The French leader was speaking in an interview published on Aug. 23 by French weekly political and news magazine Le Point.
Macron said any conversation with Putin would address security matters in Europe.
"NATO and the European Union are part of a broader negotiation process,” Macron said.
“Ultimately, we'll have to reshape the geopolitical architecture of Europe. That's exactly what I advocated in (previous) conversations with Vladimir Putin."
However, Macron said in June that he had no reason to call Putin.
"Russia does not play a beneficial role for the international community," Macron said then.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
