[HIGHLIGHTS] Ukraine: for Fabien Roussel, “we cannot accede” to kyiv’s request “to return to the EU and NATO”

Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the PCF, pleaded Wednesday for a withdrawal of Russian troops and for a neutral status for Ukraine. He in fact feared “a warlike escalation” and called on European countries to build “collective security” “We cannot grant Ukraine’s request to join the European Union and NATO.

This is not possible," he said. “Put the withdrawal of Russia troops on the table” France and the EU “are right to help a country which is invaded”
