Initially, Macron was a mediator. He was going to be portrayed as the solver of this conflict in a documentary. My take is that not him or any other European leader has any real leverage. It's the US that calls the shots.
There's one thing Putin is right about
:
"You know, sometimes it looks like European politicians are doing whatever they are told to from overseas. If they are told tomorrow: ‘We have decided to hang you all!’ they will ask only one question, with their eye down in surprise from their boldness: ‘Can we do this with the help of domestically-made ropes?’"
You can hear him speak with Zelenskyy right at the beginning of the war. Notice how certain the Ukrainian president was that it was possible to reach an agreement with Putin.
