Emmanuel Macron’s positions on “Ukraine has angered some of its European allies, notably Germany. “It has been disavowed by all of its allies on the European scene”she emphasized.

“There is no military solution to this conflict”

Manon Aubry believes that “the best way to keep the guns silent is the diplomatic weapon”. MEP does not believe in a military victory for Western states. “Do we seriously think that faced with a country which has 145 million people and which has nuclear power, we are going to win the nuclear standoff? “she asked. “There is no military solution to this conflict. Jean Jaurès said: ‘We don’t wage war to get rid of war.’ We know of no other way out of a conflict than a peace agreement.”she insisted.

According to her, the path to peace begins “by a ceasefire”. Afterwards, “we could secure, as we have been asking for months and years, the fifteen nuclear power plants” and “put in peacekeepers for example”she suggested.
