“You have to be in the demand for dialogue, in its clarity, without any naivety, with a lot of firmness, but continue to talk to him so that at some point he considers that the price to pay for his intervention in Ukraine is so high that it is better to negotiate”, insisted Jean-Yves Le Drian. According to him, Emmanuel Macron “keep talking with President Putin to get the terms of a ceasefire first and then a negotiation”.
