Macron was embarrassed! Claiming to have been assured by Putin, he was punched in the face by Russia

According to the Global Times, Macron, after ending his visit to Russia, claimed he had received personal promises from Putin that Russia would not escalate tensions in Ukraine. However, Kremlin spokesman Peskov later said that this statement was essentially wrong and that moscow and Paris had not reached any agreement, which was simply impossible.

It was also quite embarrassing to be punched in the face by Russia when he said something.

Obviously, Putin has not made any kind of promise to Macron, and the "relevant promises made by Putin to Macron" are themselves a false lie. In fact, it is basically impossible for Western countries, including France, to make any commitments to Russia before they make commitments to Russia on certain provisions of the draft security guarantees. In other words, Russia will not make any compromises on Ukraine.

Before macron's visit to Kiev, he could not wait to spread to the international community the message of Putin's commitment to him, apparently trying to use this as a "meeting gift" to the Kiev authorities, hoping to persuade Zelenskiy to refuse to accept the temptation of the United States and stop continuing to provoke Russia in this crisis to ensure that the situation can be eased. Some media believe that if Macron can persuade Russia and Ukraine to ease tensions, he will win.

At the same time, Macron also needs to prove to the domestic public that his visit to Russia and Ukraine is indeed playing the role of a "messenger of peace", with the aim of adding political points to himself in the next general election. To this end, Macron not only actively mediated diplomacy in the tension between Russia and Ukraine, but also worked with Germany to promote Russia and Ukraine to continue to implement the Donbass ceasefire agreement, intensively demonstrating his diplomatic skills.

However, the truth is not as simple as Macron imagined, and Russia and Ukraine themselves have formed a diplomatic trend because of the existence of the Crimean issue. Nowadays, with the intervention of external forces such as the United States, the Crisis in Ukraine has become more difficult to resolve. Therefore, the crisis on the Ukraine issue caused by the great power game between the United States and Russia is not something that Macron can control.

In addition, in the case that Western countries, including France, have not made clear commitments to Russia on issues such as stopping NATO's eastward expansion and refusing to let Ukraine join NATO, even if NATO does not dare to include Ukraine in its alliance in fact, Russia hopes that the West will make public commitments in order to "clarify the rules", even if Putin knows that the West is not credible in this regard.

Therefore, Macron's visit to Russia and Ukraine is not easy to achieve the purpose he expects, but he must try it hard for the sake of himself and his party. According to the French newspaper "The Zeitung", if Macron succeeds, he will become a hero and make Europe a diplomatic bigwig, all in time for France's presidential election in April.

Macron really wanted a diplomatic success to prove that he was France's best president. However, Russia unceremoniously retorted that it would greatly reduce the results of Macron's trip to Russia and Ukraine.
