Emmanuel Macron warned, Sunday March 27, against “the escalation of words and actions” in Ukraine, the day after his American counterpart Joe Biden’s comments on Vladimir Putin, whom he described as “Butcher” and which he judged he could not “not stay in power”.
“I will not use this kind of remark because I continue to discuss with President Putin”said the head of state, who asked to avoid “the escalation of words of actions” for “stop the war that Russia has launched in Ukraine without going to war”.
The presidential candidate also specified that he would speak to the Russian president “tomorrow or after tomorrow” to organize an evacuation operation from the city of Mariupol, in eastern Ukraine, which “do it as soon as possible”. New humanitarian corridors have been organized to allow the evacuation of civilians from this strategic Ukrainian port located on the Sea of Azov.
