Moscow war against Ukraine 'triple failure for Russia': Macron

PARIS, Feb 24: Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine is a "triple failure for Russia", President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday to mark the four-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of the Western-backed country.
Hundreds of thousands have died since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, unleashing the deadliest war on European soil since World War II.
"This war is a triple failure for Russia: militarily, economically and strategically," Macron said on X.
"One day, Russians will realise the enormity of the crime committed in their name, the futility of the pretexts invoked and the devastating long-term effects on their country."
Macron said Ukraine had resisted despite everything.
"Four years of lives shattered, of violence, rape, torture, war crimes and terror," he said.    �"AFP
