Okays guys, I understand your position. But I think we need to calm down a bit. This article is a bit sensational. It should be remembered that Macron is the only leader still in contact with Putin, and each time he asks Zelensky if he can do it or not, and for the moment he always says yes.

Here is what Macron says: https://youtu.be/zjsm0mX-wgs?t=960 "I will say that Russia declared a brutal war and it has been established that war crimes were committed by the Russian army. We need to find the responsibles and bring them to justice, and that is what we're doing alongside the Ukrainians by sending our cooperation (the IRCGN arrived Monday in Lviv). I am prudent with the terms I use. The people of Ukraine and Russia are brothers, and this makes what's happening a total madness. It's of an incredible brutality and the return of war in Europe , but I am still trying to find ways to stop this war and rebuild peace, and so I am not sure the escalation of words serves our cause. What is certain is that the situation is unacceptable and that these are war crimes."

As much as I agree with you on the use of the term "brothers", it's stupid to use that word, I think it is necessary to avoid verbal escalations. Biden talks a lot, but typically, the Polish fighter jet affair says a lot.

And I'm sorry, but those who think Macron is pro-Russian, just stop.
