Ukraine war: Russia must be defeated but not crushed – Macron

French president, Emmanuel Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron has said he does not want to see Russia crushed by a defeat in Ukraine.

Speaking to French media, Mr Macron urged Western nations to increase military support for Kyiv and said he was prepared for a protracted war.

“I want Russia to be defeated in Ukraine, and I want Ukraine to be able to defend its position,” he said.

But he hit out against those who he said wanted to extend the war to Russia itself in a bid to “crush” the nation.

The comments came as world leaders gathered at the Munich Security Conference, which saw promises to speed up the supply of weapons to Kyiv and impose tougher sanctions on Moscow.

“I do not think, as some people do, that we must aim for a total defeat of Russia, attacking Russia on its own soil,” Mr Macron told the paper Le Journal du Dimanche.

“Those observers want to, above all else, crush Russia. That has never been the position of France and it will never be our position.”

Addressing the conference in Munich on Friday, Mr Macron insisted that now was not the time for dialogue with Moscow.

But he did not shy away from mentioning peace talks as a final goal.

The president suggested that Ukrainian military efforts, supported by allies, were the only way to “bring Russia back to the table and build a lasting peace”.

He also dismissed the prospect of regime change in Russia, describing similar efforts around the world as a “total failure”.

Despite Mr Macron’s comments, negotiations are a faraway prospect for Ukraine’s leaders.

On Friday, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba welcomed the decision to not invite Moscow to the Munich conference.

Russian leaders should not be invited to the table as long as the “terrorist state kills, as long as it uses bombs, missiles and tanks as an argument for international politics”, he said. BBC

Mumu talk.Russia that is taking more lands in Ukraine even with all the weapons 30 nations NATO has delivered to Ukraine.
I just pray nuclear is ruled out..

Unfortunately Russia can't be defeated

In all of these... No man can be wiser than God

They are using Ukraine as a testing ground for all weapons capabilities in

It's paining hm because more and more NATO regulars dubbed as 'delisted' NATO soldiers are being killed in Ukraine and their bodies scattered all over the place. Even western ministry of truth can no longer hide the catastrophic losses the west/Ukrainians are suffering in Ukraine.

Russia cannot be defected let alone crushed, wake up little Napoleon it is all a dream that is far from reality.

Let one NATO country attack since they are serious about defecting the rus, Russia has shown they don't want to attack any NATO country except they intervene with boots on ground, that's simple to understand and if anyone doubt that let them get their men on ground.

Russia is not as advertised in Hollywood
The day they get their boots on ground then I'll take them serious especially the u.s because right now Russia has successfully tamed over 30 countries even when they have the opportunity to fight their biggest enemy.

DID THEY THREATEN TO NUKE NATO SOIL IF THE WEAPON IS USED IN RUSSIAN SOIL ?
ETC

THEIR MILITARIES DIES BY NATO ARMS

Misinformation is why you wrote all these.

At the initial stage of this war Putin said anyone who interfere in this war will face consequences they have never faced in history. Which is rightly translated to be 'get your boots on ground and know if am bluffing or not', but some of you thinks it's about sending armaments.
Fun fact: there's no law that prohibit nations from getting support during war.

You can send armaments to anyone who's at war in terms of support, the u.s has done it against Russia before in Afghanistan during the time of the USSR, the Russians have also done it against the u.s in Vietnam and in Korea.

In Vietnam there were (Russia)Soviet troops on ground which led to the death of so many American soldiers but today the u.s don't have the balls to face Russia in Ukraine.

Oga stop lying joor, Putin said that supplying weapons to Ukraine would amount to a direct aggression to Russia, And that any country who supplied weapons will be hit, it was even then he started his nuclear Sabre ranting please you have google stop spreading disinformation, the defense minister larov even said that NATO military transit of weapons were legitimate targets for Russian military.
The painful truth is this even Putin knows that it is not is own best interest that the war spill out of Ukraine, the Chinese till tomorrow has not openly backed the invasion , and XI won't risk the economy of China for Putin..
If it was in the best interest Putin can easily stage a false attack on Russian soil by the west and escalate the whole issue,
The thing is this nobody fears Putin again, when the war started it would have been an abomination that Ukraine are asking for jets now, now USA and Germany tanks are going to Ukraine, the USA will never allow a one Russian made amarta tank in a country let say Cuba,.. Putin and Russia has lost its place

And also to counter another lie you said, Soviet Union military were not in Vietnam, volunteers from the Soviet Union went and fought on behalf of the northern Vietnamese, it not the same as a Soviet Union military service men.
they Are currently USA men fighting in Ukraine in the Ukrainian forgien legion..
When the Soviet Union attack Afghanistan, the usa lend weapons and send military advice to the mujadeen fighting the Soviet, but no USA military service men was on ground..
Please let be guided

There is a reason why people don't bother responding to you: because you don't make sense other than insults.

Move ahead... I don't stoop so low.

Why is NATO and the entire west afraid of matching against Russia inside Russian territory in order to bring them to toltal surrender?

I see
You use the internet for the wrong reasons

Russia can only win this war...
There's no other way.
Russia's survival depends on it.
There's nothing else to fear again....
All sanction has failed.....
The worst that can happen is to delete Ukraine with Nuclear ( which Russia will avoid by any means possible ) .
But if Russia uses Nuclear weapon in Ukraine, No country will retaliate for Ukraine... Not even USA( dem no born dem well)
We hope it doesn't come to this.
