Europe will have to review its relations with Russia some time in the future, French President said.

Addressing an international conference on peace on Paris, Emmanuel Macron has called for “thinking about peace in Europe of tomorrow”, bearing in mind the fact that Europe “is not confined to the European Union and NATO”: “We are trying to develop the European political community, but we need to think about a new organization of Europe and then review our ties with Russia, and think about peace in this [European] continent”.

His speech was aired on the Elysee Palace’s X page.

Macron called on European and world nations to focus on how “to build a new world order”: “Evidently, this is the biggest challenge of today because our current word order is inadequate and unfair. It is inadequate because it was designed at the end of World War II. It did not take into account problems, which emerged later to become dominating. Such problems include climate and the technological revolution”.
