Emmanuel Macron is in Russia to try “to obtain a de-escalation of tensions with Ukraine”

The French president is in Russia on Monday February 7 to try “to achieve a de-escalation of the tension between Russia and Ukraine and avoid an armed conflict, nothing less“, indicates the journalist Anne Bourse, live from Moscow. She recalls that Emmanuel Macron must arrive at the Kremlin at 4 p.m., Paris time. “The two heads of state will be alone, or almost. No advisers, no diplomats or ministers with them. A rather unusual format for this kind of meeting. Only interpreters will be in the room, the occasion without doubt to speak frankly”continues the journalist.

During their last telephone interview, Thursday, February 3, Vladimir Putin warned: “He wants to get to the bottom of things, except that the Kremlin announced the color earlier by declaring that there is no breakthrough to be expected. The discussion can therefore last”, explains Anne Bourse. She specifies that there is no time limit for this interview, which will end with a press conference.
