These last 24 hours have been the scene of an acceleration of declarations. The White House has chosen the tension by evoking an imminent Russian intervention in Ukraine. This statement is considered a provocation for Vladimir Putin.
After the training of Russian troops in Vladimir Poutine in Belarus and Russian naval maneuvers in the Black Sea, the United States saw red on Friday, February 11. “Any American in Ukraine must leave as soon as possible and in any event within 24 to 48 hours. The risk is already high enough and the threat immediate enough to warrant caution.”said Jake Sullivan, adviser for the American security.
For Russia, it is a “provocative speculation”. So is the United States dramatizing? “They are very alarmist whereas obviously, while being worried, the French and the Germans do not have this attitude at all”, says Jean Radvanyi, geographer. Between the Americans and the Russians, Emmanuel Macron plays the mediator card. “A sincere dialogue is not compatible with a military escalation”said the French president.
