Thank you France for understanding how important this is. Glory to Ukraine and their supporters 🙌
I was not a great fan of Macron, but now I see him speaking and acting in ways that may earn him the status "leader of the free world."
“Leader of the free world?” Ha ha ha . Tell that to the French colonies in Africa, and how France has treated those countries and robbed them of their wealth etc . Please inform yourself.
No, just no
LOL, leader of the neocon slave world more likely. Zelensky, for one, is a dictator who increased his fortune three times last year while sending Ukrainians to the meat grinder. That's the face of the western "free" world Macron wants to impose by means of brute force.
oh he will b bigger than that, Read Revelation 13...here he comes...
Macron is completely right in his assessment of the Russian war in Ukraine.
Which part?
. I believe that the error that NATO has made with Russia in regard to Ukraine, has been in not being anywhere near aggressive enough. I believe that deterrence is very important. I think that great efforts should be made to either stop bad things from happening or to stop them from getting worse I think that a major motivator for Putin's actions in regard to Ukraine starting with the 2014 invasion and annexation of Crimea, has been his belief that the West is indecisive and scared and that he could get away with doing pretty much anything that he wanted to. I believe that the primary reason for the inadequate reaction of NATO has been fear of a nuclear conflict. Basically, I believe that through nonsensical bluffs and the West's own independent fear, Putin and his cronies have succeeded in cowing the NATO alliance into allowing Russia to seize Crimea in 2014 and begin a new invasion in 2022 that could result in Ukraine's eventual defeat. I believe that the chances of Russia's using nuclear weapons in Ukraine is miniscule at best. If Putin/Russia used nuclear weapons, I am sure they realize that they could easily be "signing their own death warrant" which I very much doubt they have much interest in doing. I strongly believe that corrupt government officials and oligarchs who spend billions of dollars of stolen money on colossal yachts and mansions have very little interest in committing suicide in attempts to keep stolen lands in Ukraine. People who are very interested in worldly goods of great luxury, are expressing a strong desire to go on living. When Russia seized Crimea in 2014, I believe that the U.S. and the rest of NATO should have told Putin in "no uncertain terms", that if Russian forces did not immediately leave Crimea, they would send their military into Crimea and destroy the Russian forces that were present there. If Russia had not complied with that demand, then NATO should have made that threat a reality. These actions almost surely would have prevented the 2022 Ukraine war from happening and could have saved hundreds of thousands of Ukranian lives. In 2022 when U.S. intelligence predicted that Russia was about to invade Ukraine, the U.S. and the rest of NATO should have warned Putin/Russia, that if they go ahead with their invasion, then the combined NATO forces would enter Ukraine and destroy the Russian military that was present. Again, I think that that this action could have very possibly stopped the Russian invasion before it happened. I still believe that the U.S. and the rest of NATO should take direct and aggressive action now in the war in Ukraine. I believe that the combined NATO forces should send a very large military force into Ukraine and destroy the Russian military that is present there. Russia is no longer a super-power and has not been one since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia has demonstrated in Ukraine for all to see, that it does not have a great military. The Russians are well aware that they cannot successfully stand up to the U.S. alone or to the combined forces of NATO. The only real danger that Russia presents is a large nuclear arsenal that I would strongly suggest that they dare not use. Confronting Russia on a Ukrainian battlefield would in fact not create "World War III". - This is a myth. The 32 countries that make up NATO versus Russian forces that are present in Ukraine, is not a World War. It is the total destruction of those Russian forces that have invaded Ukraine. NATO needs to "grow a backbone". China, North Korea and Iran are not sending armies to Ukraine to fight "shoulder to shoulder" with Russia. - This is not going to happen. This threat of World War III is little more than nonsense that Russia would dearly love for the West to believe. Russia should be forced to give back to Ukraine, every inch of land that they have illegally seized including Crimea. After all Ukrainian lands have been returned, Russia should be compelled to pay backbreaking reparations to rebuild all of Ukraine that they have destroyed. A stern message needs to be sent to all aggressor nations that all they will receive for their actions is military defeat, isolation and economic collapse. Reply
You are either clueless or delusional.... All of this is NATO's doing!
Get well soon 🥴
Greetings from Armenia
One of the most, MOST important interviews of this century to date. For the first time we the public are now part of which were previously private round table talks concerning WWWIII. France is the only 'pure EU' country with their own Nuclear Weapons. U.S. tactical nuclear weapons remain at six bases in five NATO member countries, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey. The UK and France have their own nuclear forces and no longer host U.S. weapons.
Finally someone who is trying to show some common sense and balls here in Europe
By saber rattling like a mad man? No, Macron is a clown.
the audio is very bad
It is, which is very unfortunate, because this is a very important discussion.
Agree, to listen attentively the sound of Macron's voice and interviewers must be cut so we can follow the interpreter properly.
Too much cheese & wine got in between.
No problem .
@@rambleon2838 Can you do a better job? I don't think so somehow.
Viva la France 🇫🇷♥
I can smell his panic.
Junior, Junior. One for all , All for one . The closer it gets in Trump losing the election. The more fear will be evident from the Russians. And Trump will lose the election, wether he likes or not .😊
He has no reason to panic.
Good someone can speak and not afraid. Go on, Europe need someone can stand up. Vivela France
Lol
You think someone who can speak is not afraid?
@@German-hv9nvy? fear is an illusion, just like putins brain
😅😂 🤦🏾♂️
Oh yeah, the US has given up, now France is the Great Hope of the west.
Why is it always little people?
I wonder how tall you are to make such a comment, probably also little!
Never to late as macron says smart man
Western countries have been weak for a long time. It seems all lessons from the 2 World Wars and the Cold War have been forgotten. All largest economies state support for Ukraine and that they are committed to not allow Putin to come out as the winner of the uncalled aggressions/invasions. Yet, they hesitate on the support, providing small and slow assistance, which is causing this war to last so long. Had the world acted in 2013-2014, when Crimea was invaded and Putin many times stated those were not Russian troops (all non-badged), we'd not have to be losing so many lives and spending huge fortunes now. Grow a spine and live up to the statements you make (international leaders). Give all Ukraine needs in the quantity and speed needed to end this war. Putin will fall, if that is done.
Majd azért ne feledd felhívni Macront - hogy gratulálj neki - ha látod az atomfelhőket... ÉBRESZTŐ!
You can save Europe
😂
difficult to understand - wish they had done a set of questions in French and then English since this channel is FRANCE 24 English.
It is really painful to be kicked out of Africa
Africans need to take care of there own properly. Own their mistakes. End the blame. Africans continue tyo sell themselves into slavery!
Unfortunately your pain will just get worse.
If YOU only knew how dumb your comment is . Putin is just another Leopold ii. The Russians are using African natural resource and funding this conflict. Junior 😋
@@christiaancoetzee2964Like you imperialist care as if you were in Africa for some benevolent purpose, oh please Africa and Africans were building civilizations while you people were still in caves!
I fear that Africa is only a secondary issue in this strategy. The main topic is that France needs EU to counter US power, and so France must defends EU.
This production is a hot mess. Next time, just use subtitle, PLEASE.
You can turn on the subtitles.
Macron finally getting tough and showing leadership for France, Europe and the West ........ Good Job Macron ......... American veterans are with you and France in the efforts to help Ukraine ....... Slava Ukraine ...........
Is there a version w/o the "talkover"? I can't see how to turn off the translation....
Horrible dubbing i don´t even know who says what cause its so mistimed.
Respect to Macron, this time requires real leadership and moral clarity!
He’s a silly little man, with Napoleonic, delusions of grander, without Napoleons drive or charisma.
Lmao!
Of which he has none.
His wife is a dude
Time to move now before it's too late
The Minsk agreement you didn't implement. An agreement that Francois Hollande and Merkel said they never planned to implement but to buy time for Ukraine. He should just keep quiet.
Exactly
True💯
Russia was supposed to withdraw its forces from Ukraine, remove support for the Donbas rebels and return control of occupied territory to Ukraine under the supervision of the OSCE. Russia did none of these and violated Minsk on day one. Of course there would be no Minsk agreement if Russia hadn't violated the Budapest memorandum.
Minsk was a result of the Russian aggression as of 2014, and it was to pacify Putin. Minsk or no Minsk, no country has right to invade a neighbor.
@@foilhat1138Revisionist nonsense!
Why Macron didn’t support the peace agreement in March 2022
Do YOU actually know the terms, Junior. Unconditional Surrender. Plus Putin's terms haven't changed from the one's he demanded at the first bilateral talks, when it was held between Ukraine & Belarus border, he had more demands but not willing with any concessions. Junior 😊
There was no good peace agreement
Macron has been routed from Africa... The reason of his dilly dally during the interview.

Because time makes us more wise about the situation that is developing in front of our eyes.

Après vous Manny..
🇫🇷 French Air Force dominance in skies of 🇺🇦 is a very surreal thing.

Turn the sound down and turn on subtitles
Люди не прячьте голову в песок от проблем!
Mr Arakhamia did say that had we fulfilled the agreements [btw #Russia and #Ukraine] negotiated in Istanbul, the war would have ended one and a half years ago. [In April 2022] Former Prime Minister Johnson went to Ukraine on a mission to make the case for fighting Russia until the last Ukrainian, or should we say until victory and Russia’s strategic defeat. This is probably the kind of result the #US and the #UK hoped for.
Zelensky said he needed weapons, not a ride. If France, Germany, Britain, Scandinavia and the 189 other U.N. Member States who support Ukriane, supplied Jet fighters, artillery, missiles, ammmo the Ukrainians can free themselves. No need for any NATO troops to set foot on Ukrainian soil ...... yet!
Agrred
Micron send ur army to Ukraine, just talk wont cut it. EU has been at war, covert war with russian.
Too scared 😱 rather hide 🫣 behind Ukrainians!
ЕС всегда в состоянии войны с Россией. Последний крестовый поход на Восток в 1941 году обошёлся всем как минимум 50 миллионов смертей. В 1941 году СССР воевал не с немцами, а с объединенной Европой.
He is only angry not because of Ukraine but because Africa have kicked them out without mercy, I also heard that french control pipeline in Africa in bakasi peninsula have been destroyed by Africa forces
Foolish!
His assessment of the situation is correct and his actions are measured
An angry little man. That was a long no nothing talk.
Macron qui essaye de peter plus haut .....
Worry about the riots and disruption in your own dam country
C’est un peu tard Macron, même si tout ce que tu dis a un peu de sens, c’est au début de la guerre que tu devait faire cette évaluation. Tu as sous-estimé une Russie 1000 fois mieux préparer et prête. Une Russie qui a mûri toutes les éventualités, même celle au cas où le monde entier venait à vous soutenir dans cette guerre. Le mépris sur la Russie vous a rendu aveugles au point où vous n’avez rien protéger, il n’y aura pas qu’une guerre perdue, mais une politique perdue, une économie perdue, une médiatisation du conflit perdue.
Spot on - very welcome damoscene moment but what made him wake up?

I like the courage in this man
"courage" with no objective means to do anything is known as "insanity"

Courage is when you lead your army in front, holding a sword and flag on a field of battle. Have you ever seen any politicians or their kids there?

Powerful position by France for the protection of France and Europe. Very important.
"Russia can not win this war" - what does that mean? Personally, I have been pro-France, the Nation that advocates to be independent, as EU (not sovereign), from USA in economic, security and other venues, but EU failed, and thanks to USA's interests there is now Russia-Ukraine crisis, simply because EU decided to follow the USA's old-guard geopolitical interests. Churchill - pathetic person, not worth been quoted, as if he was a great man!

What a mess of translation
This guy is actually funnier than the shows on comedy central 😂😂😂😂
As for French they never miss a chance to put boots on the ground against Russia and get jumped or be given a good kick. The greatest number of "volunteers" against Russia in WWII was from France. Only 28 000 frenchmen were captured as prisoners of war on Eastern front. During Berlin battle the last defenders of Reichstag in May 1945 were Charlemagne French Waffen SS Division fighters. What's funny is that Stalin played the biggest role in giving France anti Germany status and French post war zone on German territory. Roosvelt and Churchill eventually agreed. Later France even became one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council as one of the five victors in the WWII.
How France can be considered a winner in WW2 when they got whooped by everyone on both sides is out of my understanding. They got beaten by Germans, by Russians, by USA and they even tried to invade Italy in 1943, after Italy had surrendered and there was no standing army there, trying to get advantage from the civil war in Italy to annex Valle d'Aosta... Well, they got whooped also by a bunch of Italian sheperd. My guess for WW3 is that French government gets whooped by it's own French people. It seems the French farmers are already used to plown through barricades.
Oh, and the French love Odessa more than the British love Crimea. They are constantly trying to get their troops there for couple of centuries already .
@@rambleon2838 Then why hasn't Macron given this interview in Yalta or Simferopol? Or he's somewhere in exile like Napoleon after kicking the orcs out of Moscow in 1812?😉
@@rambleon2838 I don't see any French or British troops in Crimea in spite of centuries of your relentless effort... and as I type this I am in the center of the Balkans.. and don't see any British or French troops here either. It's time to forget your imperial hubris and try to treat others as equals
@@alexlazar4738 What nonsense are you spouting about from the middle of the Balkans? Did you have too much vodka? You started the conversation of "they are constantly trying to get their troops there for couple of centuries already". I don't think you know the history of the Balkans very well besides from a Ruzzian point of lies. Have you heard of the Crimean War 1853-56, Balkan Theater 1918, Yugoslav War 1991-2001? The French and British at multiple occasions could have occupied Crimea, Odesa and Belgrade if they wanted to, Vlatina Putina.
P has found a foot in the door with player 5.(b) And considering event 3 (mar2024) despite this event in Moscow, with player #7 on board given the attack, France may be deterred to becoming player #8 after ISIS.(a) SIM analysis: The real admittance here, is Macrons move due to player 3s potential dropping out. However, if Macron is making up for the slack, it would be to preserve the axis power that would keep player 3 on board and in this axis as a potential lead considering the repercussions if they dropped out which would make P #1, X #2, Iran #3, NK #4 along with the number 1 ranked out of the game as well (as lead in this axis based on the cause as of feb2022.) Further, as to why these declararions are not being made directly is really based on the method of approach* given agreement among the players already inspite of their opponents given this axis lineup worst case scenario. Finally, this is another nail in NATOs coffin as a deterrence whose bluff (c) has been called. However, Macron trying to take the lead is what P wants as he will consider it a blocking move which would only help further isolate Ukraine and putting Z at risk of losing his ranking and pllaceholder position. (Where P only needs to advance one position (from #2 to #1) to achieve his objective in securing Ukraine and axis power.) [* Based on the games condition where unfortunately P is already rulemaker and lead scorer, and and would.make Macron 'predictable' in addition to being a player in his game. Further, with Z leading by the alternate condition ** by a different ruleset above Ps, all he needs are the allies to follow his lead to achieve the objective (which they are not as they are play by a condition subject to the higher scorer (Ps) without realizing it.)] [** The reality aspect of the games-reality condition with regard to players with a cause in the game of identity assumption in determination of the state as well as method of approach based on another suspect as being one's opponent by test of the theory.] [(a) As the number of players get on board, there is a risk of escalation. And in this case given this headline, another player has become active given event 3 since this video. Further, given cause 1-event 1 (feb2022) and the score and rank among the players active in it (as listed above) with few moves left among the 1st and 2nd ranked, players 4, 5, 6 by plus factor may become active participants if their opponents (2,3,8) become active as well. And for good reason: to assist achieving outcome given cause 1 with Z and P (the number 1 and 2nd ranked) for the win. 😉] [(b) The players based on entry into cause 1 (feb2022) player 1: P, player 2: Z, player 3: B, player 4: X, player 5: Iran....] [(c) and any of the allies coming out to lead is testimony to this in addition to a doctrine whose terms and conditions has as well become 'modified.' Further, without compliance among the partners given the conditions set in the charter, the equity really goes to the rule of the partner carrying the load. (In this case to player 3. Thus reducing this equality and balance giving P reason to speculate no different than his opponents masked behind this appearance of equality by majority factor. (As reason for his challenge to the underwriter of the charter. And Macron coming out here further unmasks this imbalance.😉))]
Maybe to late 😢
Macron is not always easy to predict. But I agree with his assessment and the move he has chosen to take.
Are you willing to join the army?
he is a coward
Hi from Coquitlam British Columbia....finally a president with balls, all this walking on eggshells with Putin needs to end, get the job done
Russia demanded that NATO develop a security architecture for Europe. Russia presented this demand to the United States and NATO on December 17, 2021. The United States and NATO utterly disregarded and ignored it. This is the principal factor provoking the ongoing Ukraine conflict, in which France is a participant.
What a brilliant geopolitical analysis!
Ну хорошо вот вводные, ваша теория дорога куда человечеству?
Actually Macron fears Putin maximally and I know he can't stand on his word
Macron should send French troops to Ukraine. If European security is really at stake. To much talk and no action.
He’s building up your it, he’s got to get people on board with it first
@@Gumpmachine1 Do you think that the French people will buy what he's saying? Macron's approval ratings are in the negative.
@@summer031977 yes that’s true that Macron isn’t so popular but their views on Ukraine are different. It could be why Macron has become more assertive in this regard because he’s banking on the population responding favourably. French have a very strong sense of right and wrong and may get behind a president that’s willing to stand up for Ukrainians
The reason European regular troops are NOT in Ukraine is because European security is not at stake. Outdated ideas of western hegemony are at stake.
So Russia to Ukraine is an existential threat to France but France to Ukraine isn't an existential threat to Russia, oooh please reason
Because France is not trying to invade and forcefully take Ukraine. Stop drinking vodka. You will understand
If France occupied Ukraine it would be a problem. They do not, Russia is still the aggressor
Your sentence doesn't make sense.
Just how dense are you? If a free and independent democracy across your border is an existent threat to your state, maybe the world would be a better place without said state.
