After his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday, Emmanuel Macron is going to Ukraine on Tuesday February 8 to discuss with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the crisis between Russia and Ukraine.

Emmanuel Macron’s diplomatic marathon continues. The French president arrived in Kiev in Ukraine, where he was received by his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. He came to mediate between two countries in crisis: Russia and Ukraine. While Kiev could join NATO, Moscow feels threatened: the Kremlin has deployed 120,000 soldiers on the Ukrainian border.

Monday, February 7, Emmanuel Macron spoke for five hours with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite disagreements, Vladimir Putin, during the press conference following the meeting, hinted at the start of negotiations on the situation in Ukraine. But he has also shown himself to be threatening in the event of a new military initiative against Russia. Following this meeting, Emmanuel Macron assured that he had obtained from Vladimir Putin that there would be no further escalation between Russia and Ukraine.
