Moscow war against Ukraine 'triple failure for Russia': Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron has labeled Russia's ongoing military campaign in Ukraine as a 'triple failure' during a recent meeting with Ukraine's allies. This assessment comes as Macron prepares to co-chair an important gathering aimed at strengthening support for Ukraine amidst the continuing conflict, which has had significant geopolitical implications since its onset in 2022. Macron's critique highlights the strategic miscalculations made by Moscow, including failures in military strategy, international diplomacy, and economic stability. The meeting, scheduled for February 24, 2026, seeks to unify Western nations in their response to Russia's aggression and to fortify military and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine. Macron's comments underscore the need for sustained international pressure on Russia as the conflict persists, affecting not just Ukraine but the broader European security landscape. As the war enters its fifth year, Western allies are increasingly focused on long-term support strategies for Ukraine, ensuring its resilience against ongoing hostilities and reinforcing the message of solidarity against aggression.
