Valérie Pécresse denounces the positions of the extreme right and the extreme left which “do not want to condemn” Vladimir Putin as dictator “because they are fascinated by him”. She feels that both sides are “discredited to preside over France”when they hope to make the Russian leader an ally again after the war or when they question the veracity of the images of the massacre of civilians in Boutcha.
On the other hand, it does not take a clear position on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request to exclude Russia from the UN Security Council, considering that it “Do not confuse Russia with Vladimir Putin”.
