What Is the Place of France in the Ukraine and Russia Crisis?
The current world is not moving as all specialists predicted. Brexit, Trump, everyone was wrong. This chapter will have two targets: describing the French policy toward Russia, the past with USSR, and following its position in the Ukrainian conflict. It is good to remind that Hollande was involved in the Ukrainian affairs and had managed with Germany the Minsk I and II agreements. He had also suspended Mistral ships selling and approving sanctions against Russia. Despite these good intentions, which parts or positions would support France? The fears of Putin or the interest of France could drive the French policy in opposition of Charles De Gaulle independent policy.
