On the eighteenth day of the Russian invasion, Ukraine fears an encirclement of kyiv and promises a “relentless defense” of its capital against Russian forces, which are pounding the south of the country. For Valérie Pécresse, guest of the “Grand Rendez-vous” on Sunday, “we have an unlimited Vladimir Poutine”.
The war in Ukraine continues. Russian strikes killed 35 people on Sunday morning in the port city of Mykolaiv, near Odessa, in southern Ukraine, the governor of this region said on Telegram on Sunday. For the presidential candidate Valérie Pécresse, we are facing a “Vladimir Poutine without limit”, a “dictator who must be stopped”, she declared on Sunday during the Grand Rendez-vous d’Europe 1/Cnews/Les Echos.
Three types of decisions to make
Valérie Pécresse notably criticized Emmanuel Macron for having “been too late in his awareness of the dangerousness” of the Russian president. “Vladimir Putin is a huge manipulator and we see it in the way he instrumentalizes his dialogues,” she thundered.
“We have a Russia that wants to rebuild its empire, I think that if we had guaranteed the borders of Ukraine, the independence of Ukraine, things would have been different,” she continued.
