French President Emmanuel Macron said that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is offering Ukraine a path to capitulation. He stressed that Europe and Ukraine must stand united, APA reports citing BFMTV.
"Do I think Putin wants peace? I think the answer is no," Macron said.
The French President added that, unlike Putin, he believes President Trump genuinely wants peace. According to Macron, Putin's goal is to push Ukraine toward capitulation, and that is exactly what he is offering.
Tomorrow, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit the White House to discuss steps to end the war. Several European leaders will also join the meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Macron said he expects a "tough" discussion with Trump. He emphasized that the goal of tomorrow's talks is to demonstrate a united front between Ukraine and its European allies.
He added that European partners want Ukraine's territorial integrity to be respected and stressed that Kyiv must be represented in any negotiations about Ukraine.
