French President Emmanuel Macron called for restraint in both words and actions in dealing with the Ukraine conflict, after U.S. President Joe Biden described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "butcher" and said he should not remain in power.
"I wouldn't use this type of wording because I continue to hold discussions with President Putin," Macron said on France 3 TV channel.
Biden, speaking in Warsaw, had said that Putin "cannot remain in power". A White House official later said Biden's remarks did not represent a shift in Washington's policy and were meant to prepare the world's democracies for an extended conflict, not back regime change in Russia.
How imbaressing.... The junior President of France to point clearly the wrong approach to peace by someone who has been in the governoment in the past 50 years. Just a thought.
