He’s wrong. There is no war. At least 95% of the ordnance involved comes from the Ukrainian side, against a very small amount of Russian peacekeeping forces.
This feels like he is helping Macron to get ahead of the news cycle and get this out of the way before the election. There is an admission Russia has won and Ukraine has to swallow a very bitter pill. And Macron is positioned to say “if you only listened to me, this might not have happened.”
Back in early February Macron was trying to convince Zelensky to accept neutrality. The buzzword being thrown around was Finlandization. Evidently Zelensky was adamantly opposed and then both denied it. Having this settled before the election has to be more beneficial than the Spectre of a world war weighing on voters minds.
This guy didn’t kill himself
