French President Emmanuel Macron said he spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the meeting in Albania of high-ranking European leaders with the Ukrainian president, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
According to the French president, Russia has not shown that it is ready for peace in Ukraine.
„We just had a phone conversation with the US president while we were in Albania. "President Putin once again refuses to respond to the proposal for an unconditional ceasefire proposed by the Americans and supported by Ukraine and the Europeans," Macron wrote in "Express."
"By rejecting the ceasefire and dialogue with Ukraine, Russia is demonstrating that it does not want peace and is simply trying to gain time by continuing the war," he added.
