Sarkozy Slammed For Call To Compromise With Russia

Sarkozy Slammed For Call To Compromise With Russia

File photo dated May 29, 2008 shows French President Nicolas Sarkozy receives Russian Prime MInister Vladimir Putin at the Elysee Palace in Paris, France. France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy has stirred outrage in Kyiv and Paris by suggesting Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be ended with new referendums in occupied territories. "The Ukrainians... will want to reconquer what has been unjustly taken from them. But if they can't manage it completely, the choice will be between a frozen conflict... or taking the high road out with referendums strictly overseen by the international community," Sarkozy told conservative newspaper Le Figaro on Wednesday. Speaking particularly about the Crimean peninsula, which Russia claimed to have annexed in 2014, the former French leader said that "any return to the way things were before is an illusion".
