BBC News: Reports on remarks by President Macron of France, " French President Emmanuel Macron has told reporters that President Vladimir Putin assured him that Russian forces would not ramp up the crisis near Ukraine's borders. "
Lets Get Real:
The Russians as the article states NOT SO FAST, there is no agreement in the view of the Kremlin as reported in the Daily Mail, did the French President hear what he wanted to HEAR. The real detail will come if there is an increase of Russian troops over the next few days. The Biden Oval has to remind Germany and France who is the leader of the Democratic West and it is not them. The Kremlin could be playing for time, waiting in till its reaches its build up point, also the ground on the Ukraine and Russian border needs to get firmer for the Russian tanks. The Kremlin could be trying to split France and Germany from the rest of the West. It knows that Germany needs its gas, and any stopping of gas would mean that Germany would need help from the its Western Allies, that could take time and the Germany economy could be stalled, Putin also knows that Macron has elections coming up and wants to show that he is now the leader in Europe after the departure of the last German Chancellor. It is not what politicians say its what they do!
