Coupling and Isolation Consequence: Macron tried to explain Putin's decision to invade (video)

According to the President of France, the Kremlin head suffers from restaurant and seeks military and political advantage in post -Soviet countries. French President Emmanuel Macron believes that Vladimir Putin's decision to start a full-scale war against Ukraine may be the result of isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. He stated this in an interview with CNN. "A few months ago, Vladimir Putin said that he was attacked by NATO, they provoked the situation, and he simply responded.

But now it is clear to everyone that the leader who decided to start the war, the leader who decided to go to escalation, he is President Putin. And I do not have a rational explanation of this, "he commented, answering questions about the causes of military aggression against Ukraine.

At the same time, the President of France suggested that the reason may be a combination of several factors, including a resaity (a sense of hostility to whom the subject considers his failure, a sense of weakness, inferiority and envy in respect of "enemy"), as well as the desire of military and political superiority in post -Soviet countries.

"It seems to me that it is a combination of resaity, hegemony strategy in the region, and I would say the consequences of Covid-19, isolation [Putin during a pandemic]," Macron said. In addition, Macron called the decision on partial mobilization in Russia with a mistake and a lost opportunity to "get on the path of peace". We will remind, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the war in Ukraine can only end at the table of negotiations between Kiev and Moscow.
