French President Emmanuel Macron called for “clear red lines” in dealing with Russia, objecting to Moscow’s troop buildup along the Ukraine border and the worsening health of jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny.

“If we want a better system in terms of arms control, if we want to stabilize a lot of existing crises in the world today, we need an open and frank dialogue with Russia,” Macron said on CBS television’s “Face the Nation” program, according to excerpts made available in a tweet before the Sunday broadcast of the full interview.
