“Macron admitted that the sanctions cost the EU as much as Russia, but did not produce a“ positive result. ” To clarify: politically, the result is zero.

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said that anti-Russian sanctions did not bring either Europe or Russia anything positive and noted the need for dialogue to resolve frozen conflicts.

Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Chaputović, evaluating the statement, noted that the Polish side does not share this position, the sanctions must be maintained, and Europe and the EU “must unite here with other countries, primarily with the United States”, since Moscow poses a “very serious threat” .
