Emmanuel Macron: Putin should be investigated for war crimes
Emmanuel Macron believes that Vladimir Putin should face a war crimes investigation for the atrocities in Ukraine.
Emmanuel Macron thinks that Vladimir Putin should be investigated for war crimes.
The French President has urged the international community to launch legal initiatives against the tyrant in light of recent attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
During an interview with CBS News programme '60 Minutes', Macron said: "What we have to do now is, number one, to gather all the evidence of these war crimes.
"In parallel, we have to launch all the initiatives indeed to have such a result. So, my answer is yes."
Macron says that the West must help Ukraine from a "humanitarian, economic and defense point of view" and explained how he is organising an event in conjunction with President Volodymyr Zelensky to be held in Paris on December 13.
The conference aims to collect generators and assist civilians in restoring schools, hospitals and other aspects of daily life in Ukraine.
Macron has maintained an open dialogue with the despot but claims that Putin is trying to restore the Russian empire and shows resentment towards the West - particularly the US and the European Union.
The French leader said: "There was this clear awareness of how the Russian people were the great people, great with great history.
"And his perspective and probably his destiny was to restore, perhaps, an empire."
