“I spoke with President Zelensky. As the agreement reached in Gaza offers a glimmer of hope for peace in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine too must come to an end. If russia persists in its obstinate warmongering and its refusal to come to the negotiating table, it will have to pay the price”, - said French President Emmanuel Macron on October 12 on X.
“France condemns the russian strikes against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, which in fact target the civilian population on the eve of winter. Together with our partners, we are exploring the necessary assistance to restore and secure essential services. France stands more than ever alongside Ukraine, fully engaged within the framework of the Coalition of the Willing”, - he emphasized.
