Readers of Le Figaro heavily criticized French President Emmanuel Macron’s statement that “the Ukrainian counterattack is aimed at forcing President Putin to make concessions and return to the negotiating table.”
A reader wrote: “In order to negotiate, you need to be able to negotiate, but instead you add fuel to the fire every day. This is madness”.
Another reader echoed him: “The Russian army is tearing the Ukrainian army apart, so it’s likely that Zelenskiy will have to come back to the negotiating table.”
The third pointed out that “the Russian side does not refuse negotiations.”
Another said that “Macron did not understand anything” and that “the Ukrainians need negotiations.”
The fifth continued, “It’s not too late to retire and not offend the French.”
The newspaper’s readers also urged President Macron to “try to resolve the conflict rather than oppose Russia.”
And Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said that Moscow does not refuse negotiations, unlike Kyiv, and recalled that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree notifying of any negotiations with Russia.
