PARIS, Jan 24 — France is pushing for direct EU-Russia security talks in addition to an ongoing dialogue between the United States and Moscow, France’s Europe minister said Sunday, while warning against divisions in the Western alliance.
French President Emmanuel Macron sparked fears of divisions among Western partners on Wednesday by suggesting that the EU needed to hold direct talks with Moscow in addition to US-Russia and US-Nato diplomacy. Beaune said Putin liked the direct Russia-US talks because “it’s a reminder of the Cold War and the contest between superpowers” and it also enabled him to “divide” the Europeans.
He said that Macron would speak again to Putin again “in the coming days”, while France and Germany were also working on “reviving” their four-way talks with Russia and Ukraine known as the Normandy Format.
