1 In terms of substance, the question is not whether or not to isolate Putin, but to ensure that the Russian regime loses the war, is put out of action, which implies its disappearance—I certainly understand that @MinColonna can't say this explicitly.

2 Moreover, to think that talking to him could change him is the same illusion that has prevailed in recent years.
To send warning messages is certainly something else and could make sense. The US did. Has nothing to do with the isolation narrative.

3 In terms of communication, this can only revive some old suspicions towards France, which is the worst thing, even more so now. We must stop talking, even in the distant future, about possible negotiations with this regime.
Diplomacy does not work with Putin.
Period.

4 We can—and even must—engage in a reflection on the future of #Russia. Some analysts, including myself, have begun to do so.
This requires a double analysis:
1) that of the different segments of Russian society, of course.

But we must also think 2) about how democracies will have to carry the change in #Russia, by not repeating the mistakes of the Yeltsin era (deregulated markets, Western greed, social insecurity, permanence of the security apparatus...).

5 In the immediate future, we must avoid the prospect of a long and costly war for Ukrainians by significantly increasing our military aid to #Ukraine without any restrictions on the type of weaponry.
We still remain halfway.
