French President, Emmanuel Macron has condemned US President
Joe Biden’s use of the word, butcher to describe Russian President Vladimir
Putin.
“I wouldn’t use terms like that because I’m still in talks
with President Putin,” Macron said during an interview on French Channel,
France 3.
Biden had on Saturday issued intense criticism against Putin
during his meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw, Poland.
Biden, who looked to have initially ditched his personal
rivalry with Putin, ramped up his rhetoric against Russian President over the
last 10 days.
For the first time, he called Putin a “war criminal” last
week and then later referred to him as a “murderous dictator, a pure thug who
is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine.” He’s also called the
Russian invasion of Ukraine “inhumane.”
Macron added: “Our goal is to stop the war Russia launched
in Ukraine, while avoiding a war and escalation.”
Before the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Macron
emerged as a central figure in Europe’s diplomatic efforts to diffuse the
situation between Moscow and the West.
The French leader repeatedly engaged with Putin to try and
avert the war.
