In an interview with the French television channel TF1 released this Saturday, Macron did not say when that next conversation with the Russian president will take place, but he did specify that it will be after addressing the issue of security at the Ukrainian atomic power plants with the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi.

The hottest topic on this point is the situation in the Zaporizhia power plant, the largest in Europe, which has been under the control of Russian troops since it was occupied in March, and which has been the subject of multiple armed skirmishes by the that Moscow and Kiev have accused each other.

The French president ended a state visit to the United States this Friday in New Orleans during which he spoke with Joe Biden about the war in Ukraine and his message in the interview is that “the United States and France share the same vision of things.”

Specifically, that “we must help the Ukrainians to resist” to the Russian invasion and for that the French and Ukrainian presidents, Volodimir Zelenski, organize an international conference in Paris on the 13th.

In addition, according to his story, Macron and Biden also agreed that we must “put pressure on Russia to return to the negotiating table” Y “Prepare the dialogue for the day when the whole world returns to the negotiating table.”

Asked about Zelensky’s categorical refusal of any territorial concession to Russia, including Crimea, the French president repeated that the question of borders is something that corresponds to the Ukrainians and that the French have nothing to say there.

What he did say that you have to prepare with Biden is “the security architecture we want to live with tomorrow” when that conflict is over.

And in his view, that includes addressing the fears expressed by Russia that “NATO comes to your doorstep” with the deployment of weapons likely to create a threat. That -he stressed- will be one of the issues of the dialogue for peace.

Meanwhile, he repeated that he will continue to help Ukraine, also militarily, but with the same limits that he has set himself since the beginning of the war: not to weaken the capabilities of the French Army and not to deliver weapons that could be used to attack Russia.
