In haste, I will post the old thread shortly.

It was also interesting to see Gary Kasparov note that Macron's speech would go down well for Putin people because it confirms their sense of their status in Europe:

A tactical win for Macron at home, but this visit is a strategic win for Putin. Shown everywhere in Russia as a display of his importance.
