Italian expert criticizes Biden-Macron peace proposals as naive, media-oriented

 Peace initiatives advanced by the US and French presidents, Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron, are naive and media-oriented, Tiberio Graziani, Chairman of Vision & Global Trends International Institute for Global Analyses Tiberio Graziani (Italy), said on Friday.

"The idea to begin another peace process, an alternative to the one launched by Ankara, on condition that an agreement is only possible when the situation returns back to what it was prior to February 24, regardless of how many territories are already under Russia’s control, looks naive and calculated for the media. [Russian Foreign Minister Sergey] Lavrov’s approach looks more rational and pragmatic as he suggested that John Kerry could be a possible intermediary. Maybe he did that to forestall Macron’s actions and avoid conforming with Western initiatives," he said.
