PARIS, France, Feb 24, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - 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. "This war is a triple failure for Russia: militarily, economically and strategically," he 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."
