PARIS, Aug 19 — French President Emmanuel Macron today warned European allies not to trust Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he called “an ogre at our gates”.
Macron’s remarks came as Russian and Ukrainian presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky looked set for a peace summit after fast-moving talks yesterday between Donald Trump and European leaders that focused on the key issue of long-term security guarantees for Kyiv.
“Putin has rarely honoured his commitments,” Macron told the LCI broadcaster. “He has constantly been a force for destabilisation. He has sought to redraw borders to increase his power.”
Macron said he did not believe that Russia would “return to peace and a democratic system from one day to the next”.
Putin, “including for his own survival, needs to keep eating”, Macron said. “That means he is a predator, an ogre at our gates.”
This did not mean that France would “come under attack tomorrow”, Macron said, “but of course this is a threat to Europe (…) let’s not be naive.” — AFP
