“The Ukrainian population has its place in the European Union in the long term,” says ecologist Sandrine Rousseau

Vladimir Putin recognized the two separatist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in Donbass, Ukraine, Monday, February 21. Russian troops were sent there to “maintain peace”. How should Europe and France react? “Very clearly, very firmly. Tell the Ukrainian people that they have their place in the European Union in the long term. Sanctions must be taken”explains Sandrine Rousseau, ex-candidate for the environmentalist primary, in the “4 Truths” on France 2, Tuesday, February 22.

On the left, is the useful vote personified by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, as Ségolène Royal argued? “The useful vote is ecology, we have five years to act. All the IPCC reports tell us so. It is the lives of our children that are at stake”, assures the president of the political committee of Yannick Jadot. However, the environmental candidate does not take off in the polls. So what needs to be changed? “We must change the framework of the political debate. We are completely sinking into far-right themes”believes Sandrine Rousseau.
