No?
Then Macron did nothing.
Look, all that happened is that Putin couldn't get Biden to budge, couldn't get Biden to make any concessions. And why should Biden? Ukraine is a sovereign nation, and should remain sovereign. Biden is playing hardball.
Putin is just fishing for cracks with France and Germany. If Macron knows what's good for him he'd better follow Biden's lead, stand fast and not offer Putin a damned thing.

+1. This is good news. Let Europeans keep stepping up to take the lead in Europe. US has another set issues to deal with in the pacific theater they need to focus on. The US can continue to support Europeans via NATO while Europeans continue to build their capacity.

Macron has now positioned himself as the most important person in the western world dealing with Russia. It just goes to show how the world doesn't take Biden seriously. His administration is huffing and puffing every single day pumping mass hysteria, meanwhile Macron behaves like a true world leader and is basically saying let's at least give peace a chance. At least we have a leader somewhere with a cool head. Biden is appearing more and more feckless by the day while US influence and hegemony wanes at a precipitous rate.
This is a Europe problem and it's quite appropriate that Europe is dealing with it.
America has such a sense of entitlement to bossing other countries around, it acts positively stunned that somehow they can button their own trousers.

Agree! The U.S. should not have to be the police for the whole world

Where is Biden? If Ukraine is such a crisis, then why isn't he over in Europe galvanizing the west? Just admit it, he is too old and simply cannot do it. His acquity at this age also makes him a liability.
