Macron says nations must ‘define red lines’ with Russia

“We will never accept new military operations on Ukrainian soil.” The West must demonstrate diplomacy and credibility in making that point, he said.

French President Emmanuel Macron says that while dialogue with Russia is essential, “clear red lines” carrying possible sanctions must also be drawn with Moscow over Ukraine. Referring to a recent build-up of Russian troops on Ukraine’s border, Mr. Macron said in an interview with American broadcaster CBS News, “We will never accept new military operations on Ukrainian soil.” The West must demonstrate diplomacy and credibility in making that point, he said.
