Partners should not make concessions or increase efforts until a complete ceasefire.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian believes that Russia should have no hope of winning the war against Ukraine. CNN writes about this.
“Russia cannot be given any hope of victory. The stakes are of strategic importance to us,” Le Drian said.
According to him, it is also impossible to allow any concessions by the Russian Federation until it ceases fire and holds real talks.
“We have a very clear goal – not to make any concessions and increase our efforts until a complete ceasefire throughout Ukraine and the start of real negotiations,” the minister said.
Le Drian noted that France wants to prove to partners around the world that Russia's war against Ukraine affects everyone. Because, he said, it is “a denial of the principles and commitments that protect us all.”
The French Foreign Minister called for increased military, financial and humanitarian support for Ukraine. He also again asked Europe to give up Russian hydrocarbons.
“Although we do not all have the same dependence on Russian hydrocarbons, we will have the same interest in giving them up,” Le Drian said.
In addition, he warned against trusting the statements of the Russian Federation on the reduction of hostilities, calling for judging only on specific actions.
