Ukraine peace talks, Macron: Faced with Putin's cynicism, Trump will react

French President Emmanuel Macron, at the joint press conference with Prime Minister Rama, was asked about the war in Ukraine and the peace agreement, where he stated that the ceasefire proposal is an American proposal and must be respected, but Putin's response was not positive.

He indicated that during the visit to Kiev with Merz and Starmer, they called Trump, where they conveyed their call for a ceasefire with security guarantees in Ukraine and that pressure should be applied to Russia.

Macron further emphasized that the proposals for a ceasefire, to meet, are American, are important and cannot have a negative response from Russia.

"I'm telling you that in the face of Putin's cynicism, I think, I'm sure that Trump, concerned about America's credibility, will react," Macron stressed.

Macron: The American president came with an ambition to make peace. It was an important statement and the US should be respected for that. We reacted by saying that we need a strong and lasting peace. And for this we have done very intensive work. And then it was also approved by the president of Ukraine. We are waiting for Russia's response.

In Kiev we were with Strmer, Merz, and we called Mr. Trump together to tell him that we are all for a ceasefire, with security guarantees and that pressure should be put on Russia, the agreement given by Trump is strong, then Putin's proposal was to say we meet in Istanbul. On Sunday Zelensky gave his consent, today we have nothing.

I'm telling you that in the face of Putin's cynicism, I think, I'm sure that Trump, concerned about America's credibility, will react. The proposal for a ceasefire, to meet, are American, are important, they cannot have such a response. We will continue to cooperate so that Ukraine can resist and have peace.
