French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melanchon:
We will deal directly with the solution to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Because we French, invaded four times by our neighbor, will never agree with the idea that someone should invade someone else to solve a political problem.
We do not accept the idea of peace involving territorial concessions in Ukraine without asking the populations concerned whether they agree to be on one side of the border or the other.
It is up to the people themselves to decide what they want.
