This Monday, February 21, Emmanuel Macron has convened for half an hour a national defense council in the context of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Journalist Jean-Baptiste Marteau takes stock of the situation, in duplex from the Elysée Palace (Paris).
Tensions between Ukraine and Russia continue to rise, and French President Emmanuel Macron convened a National Defense Council on Monday (February 21st) on this subject. Journalist Jean-Baptiste Marteau, in duplex from the Elysée Palace (Paris), explains that this exceptional Defense Council began “a few minutes ago at the Elysee Palace, even before Russian President Vladimir Putin’s statement”. The French initiative (…) to obtain the idea of this Russia / United States summit, is completely swept away today”continues Jean-Baptiste Marteau.
This Defense Council “follows other contacts during the day. Emmanuel Macron spoke with Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky, but also with his European counterparts. Now the whole question is what response will the Europeans be able to bring to this new provocation of Vladimir Putin”concludes Jean-Baptiste Marteau.
