"Situation doesn't get out of control"...what kind of control does he have?

What has this guy done? All that talking with Putin and what?

[our-days-are-short]

And Moscow says that no other country has the right to say who should be leading another country. The hypocrisy floors me.

Biden just said what everyone was thinking.

Everyone loves to criticize America and then turn around and beg for help from them, funny how that works

[James-fboy]

Macron thinking he can negotiate with Putin is hilarious 🤡

[saint_matthias]

I think Macron cannot remain in power.

Well... Its true: he can't remain in power

[GlobetrotterBR]

On behalf of France I apologize to the world for the disgrace that is the Current French president.

Putin just escalates with his threats of using nukes.

All that talking to pUtin got Macron nowhere. IMO Biden is right. Putin should not have that power

[richardextall]

At least he has some balls to indicate change is needed.

France is doing nothing good as allways. He still talks with putin. Isn't it joke?

[bereshit]

Situation is already out of control Mr. Macron!

This man has been doing his daily routine with the butcher for some time now and he still hasn’t gotten anywhere.

Macron has talked many times to Putin but still he’s getting the same answers all the time. Putin’s behaviours against Ukraine is definitely unacceptable. I agree with Biden that Putin cannot remain in power and he’s a threat of EU’s democracy.

Macron speaking with Putin is complete waste of time. Just stop it. Of course Putin can not continue. It’s obvious.

is that a white flag in the background?
