Politico: Sarkozy says Europe ‘needs’ Russia, slams Europe’s Ukraine policy

— "Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy says “diplomacy, discussions and talks” are “the only ways” to resolve Russia’s war on Ukraine.
In an interview published in French daily Le Figaro on Wednesday, Sarkozy argued that #Europe needs to “clarify its strategy” and seek a compromise with Russia rather than pursue its “strange idea” of funding a war without waging it.

“Without compromise, nothing will be possible and we run the risk that the situation will degenerate at any moment. This powder keg could have frightful consequences,” he said."
