Macron the mediator: Can France help calm Ukraine crisis?

THE DEBATE © FRANCE 24

Emmanuel Macron is on a special trip to Moscow to meet and talk with Vladimir Putin. The mission: to try and calm matters on the Ukraine-Russia border and avoid what many analysts say is certain war. Macron is representing the EU, with France holding the rotating presidency. What influence does he take into these talks?

There is of course a presidential election in France in April. Macron has not yet declared himself a candidate for his re-election, even though he already has the 500 signatures of support required. Our panel of guests examine Macron's game plan and the stories that surround it.

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Juliette Laurain and Léopoldine Iribarren.
