For the deputy Aurélien Taché, it is “out of the question to fuel an escalation on the Ukrainian front” but it is necessary above all “to protect the member countries of NATO and the European Union”, because Vladimir Putin “would be everything fully capable of going beyond Ukraine if he had the means”.

Emmanuel Macron had “words at the height” but he shows a “political impotence which is tragic for Ukrainians”, said Friday, February 25 on franceinfo Aurélien Taché, deputy of Val-d’Oise and co-president of the New Democrats, while the Head of State sent a message to parliamentarians on the situation in Ukraine. The position of France, which has requested the exclusion of Russia from the Swift banking system “is good”corn “has not been acted upon”regrets Aurélien Tache. “It was the German, Italian and other moderates who won against the French and those who demanded tougher sanctions. And that is extremely regrettable.”

Emmanuel Macron also claimed that the European sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine will concern “top leaders” Russians. “Good news”for Aurélien Taché, but “it’s not sufficient”. He pleads for “maximum pressure”. “We must also freeze visas. We must prohibit entry into European territory, as long as we have this situation of conflict, the Russian leaders who participated in this dismemberment of Ukraine.” This pressure “maximum” is necessary because, according to him, “the real victory will come from within Russia”. “It is by putting extremely strong economic and political pressure that we will be able to further weaken Vladimir Putin.” This will push the Russians “who are tired of living under his yoke” and who do not wish this war to “drive out of power”.
Aurélien Taché also believes that he is “it is out of the question to fuel an escalation on the Ukrainian front”but it calls for “to protect the member countries of NATO and the European Union”. Because according to him, “Vladimir Putin would be quite capable of going beyond Ukraine if he had the means”. The Russian President is “in an ideological and identity crusade. He wants to affirm an eternal Russia”. The deputy recalls that the head of the Kremlin stressed that Ukrainians are part of the cultural and spiritual history of Russia. “He thinks that for the countries that go from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea”, insists Aurélien Tache. We therefore need soldiers “to protect themselves” but also “to act economically and politically” going “beyond NATO and the European Union” by soliciting “countries that are ready to put pressure on Putin in the name of the right of peoples to self-determination or the right to peace”.
