[HIGHLIGHTS] Emmanuel Macron makes his mea culpa with the countries of the East

The French president is the first to have visited Globsec, Central Europe's main forum for European security issues. He made a long-awaited mea culpa vis-à-vis the countries of the East that lived the Soviet occupation in their flesh.

In 2008, France, along with Germany, vetoed the entry of Ukraine and Georgia into NATO. Today, while Russian aggression has made Ukraine "a major player", Emmanuel Macron quotes the American diplomat Henry Kissinger, who now defends Ukraine's entry intoNATO.
