巴黎(美联社)——法国总统马克龙表示,现在是欧洲向俄罗斯伸出援手的时候了,以使其留在西方阵营,遏制其全球野心,避免陷入新冷战。

马克龙没有直接表示他是否想解除欧盟因俄罗斯从乌克兰吞并克里米亚而实施的制裁,克里米亚是过去五年来东西方紧张局势的核心。 但他表示新的制裁“不符合我们的利益”。

周二,在主持七国集团峰会后,马克龙发表了一场内容广泛的外交演讲,勾勒出法国作为“平衡力量”的角色——在俄罗斯与其竞争对手之间、美国与伊朗之间、富国与穷国之间。

马克龙表示:“将俄罗斯逐出欧洲是一个严重的战略错误。” 欧洲的“弱点和错误”帮助俄罗斯加强了与中国的联盟,并恢复了其在叙利亚、利比亚和非洲地区的影响力。

他说:“软弱和内疚、忘记所有分歧并重新拥抱彼此,都不符合我们的利益。”但他坚称:“如果我们不这样做,欧洲大陆永远不会稳定,永远不会安全。” 不要安抚并澄清我们与俄罗斯的关系。”

马克龙和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京上周会面,并发誓要为与乌克兰的和平谈判提供新的推动力。 但两人在其他问题上存在分歧,包括叙利亚和俄罗斯镇压反对派抗议活动。

马克龙正试图在多个方面重振法国的全球影响力,但成效参差不齐。

在邀请伊朗外长作为意外嘉宾参加法国七国集团峰会后,马克龙周二表示,他的冒险外交策略有助于创造“一次有益会议的可能条件”。

马克龙承认,他让伊朗和美国走到一起的努力是“脆弱的”,但他表示,在数十年的冲突之后,他仍然看到了一条“可能的道路”。

他周一在七国集团峰会上表示,希望美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和伊朗总统哈桑·鲁哈尼能够在几周内会面。 特朗普表示,这种情况发生的可能性“非常好”,但鲁哈尼周二表示,美国总统必须首先取消对德黑兰的制裁。

与此同时,巴西拒绝了马克龙在七国集团峰会上倡导的抗击亚马逊山火的国际援助提议。 巴西总统雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗指责法国和其他富裕国家将该地区视为“殖民地”。

马克龙称这种解释是“错误”。 他说,这笔钱是针对该地区国家的,是友谊的象征,而不是“侵略”。

他说,这笔钱不仅针对巴西,还针对亚马逊地区的九个国家,包括哥伦比亚和玻利维亚。 法国也通过其海外地区法属圭亚那将自己视为亚马逊国家。

Decrying crisis, France's Macron urges new economic order

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron says it's time for Europe to reach out to Russia — to keep it in the Western fold, check its global ambitions and avoid being caught in the middle of a new Cold War.

Macron didn't say outright whether he wants to lift EU sanctions imposed over Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, the heart of East-West tensions for the past five years. But he said new sanctions "are not in our interest."

In a sweeping diplomatic speech Tuesday after hosting the G-7 summit , Macron sketched out a role for France as a "balancing power" — between Russia and its rivals, between the U.S. and Iran, between rich and poor countries.

"Pushing Russia from Europe is a profound strategic error," Macron said. Europe's "weaknesses and mistakes" have helped lead Russia to boost its alliance with China and revive its influence in Syria, Libya and around Africa.

"It's not in our interest to be weak and guilty, to forget all our disagreements and to embrace each other again," he said, but insisted: "The European continent will never be stable, will never be in security, if we don't pacify and clarify our relations with Russia."

Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin met last week and vowed to give a new boost to peace talks with Ukraine. But the two disagreed on other issues, including Syria and the Russian crackdown on opposition protests.

Macron is trying to revive France's global clout on multiple fronts, with mixed success.

After inviting the Iranian foreign minister as a surprise guest to the Group of Seven summit in France, Macron said Tuesday that his risky diplomatic maneuver helped create "the possible conditions of a useful meeting."

Macron acknowledged that his efforts to bring Iran and the U.S. together are "fragile" but says he still sees a "possible path" to rapprochement after decades of conflict.

He expressed hope at the G-7 on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani could meet within weeks. Trump said there was a "really good chance" that could happen — but Rouhani said Tuesday that the U.S. president must first lift sanctions imposed on Tehran.

Brazil, meanwhile, rejected offers of international aid championed by Macron at the G-7 to fight Amazon wildfires. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro accused France and other rich countries of treating the region like a "colony."

Macron called that interpretation a "mistake." He said the money is aimed at countries in the region and is a sign of friendship — not "aggression."

He said the money isn't just aimed at Brazil but at nine countries in the Amazon region, including Colombia and Bolivia. France, too, considers itself an Amazon country via its overseas region of French Guiana.
