Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy in an interview with a newspaper Le Figaro He declared that the European Union could no longer adhere to the idea of ”fight without war” and must switch to diplomacy.
According to him, the European Union needs to get out of the deadlock because Europe’s interests do not coincide with those of the United States.
“We need to clarify our strategy, especially if the conflict is protracted. “The only way to find an acceptable solution remains diplomacy, discussion and negotiations,” Sarkozy said.
He added that current French President Emmanuel Macron’s intention to continue the dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin was “good”, but noted with regret that the French politician did not complete it due to pressure from Eastern European countries.
Sarkozy also noted that he was told that Putin was no longer the way he knew him, but that the former president doubted this.
