France made security proposals to Russia regarding Ukraine

The French president assured that Putin would have assured him that he would keep Ukraine's stability and sovereignty intact

Emmanuel Macron proposed this Tuesday to Vladimir Putin concrete security guarantees for all the countries involved in the conflict on Ukrainian territory.

After a five-hour meeting, the French president, through a joint press conference, emphasized that Putin would have assured his willingness in the process, and guaranteed that he would maintain the stability and integrity of the territory of Ukraine.

While Putin highlighted his differences with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Emmanuel Macron summarized his objectives, highlighting military stability in the short term and that negotiations between the United States, Russia and Europe continue to achieve diplomatic solutions.

Macron accepted that the security of Europe cannot be guaranteed if there is no security in Russia, as Vladimir Putin had previously stated.

However, the French president stressed to Putin that the Baltic nations and the rest of Europe have the same security fears as Russia. The French president emphasized the need to build concrete solutions together, since both countries share a border country.

On the other hand, Macron promised to intensify negotiations with all those involved to achieve solutions, pointed out that at the meeting they evaluated all diplomatic channels and assured that within the next few days they would hold a new meeting.

Through the press conference it was possible to visualize the deep differences between the two countries, with a tense tone at the end, however, both presidents admitted their disagreements.

Macron assured that more than 100,000 Russian soldiers on the Ukraine border make all of Europe nervous. After the press conference, the French presidency stated that both presidents would have reached several points of agreement, which they would not have mentioned in the press conference.

According to France, Russia would have agreed to withdraw its troops at the end of the military exercises from Zapad, Belarus. The French presidency guaranteed the commitment of the two countries not to take new military measures to achieve a de-escalation.

On the other hand, Putin assured that Macron's proposals could achieve significant progress and assured that they will do everything possible to reach agreements.

Putin added that neither country wants a war to start between NATO and Russia, as "there would be no winner". However, the Russian president again accused NATO of having been deployed throughout Europe in the last three decades to the point of becoming a threat to Russia.

In turn, he publicly denounced all the military aid Ukraine has received from the West.
