French President Emmanuel Macron praised U.S. President Donald Trump for steps aimed at ending russia’s war against Ukraine but warned him to "be careful" in the negotiation process. Macron stated this in an interview with Fox News after Trump and Macron held talks at the White.
"We want peace. And I believe President Trump's initiative is very positive. But my message was to be careful because we need something substantial for Ukraine", - he said.
Macron noted that he sees a possibility of a ceasefire between russia and Ukraine in the coming weeks.
"I believe it is at least possible to achieve a ceasefire and then start discussing a lasting peace. A ceasefire is needed first. I think it can be reached in the next few weeks", - he added.
During the ceasefire, Macron suggested that negotiations would take place on security guarantees, territories, occupied lands, and reconstruction.
