What Macron talked about with Trump

Journalists asked the French leader to comment on a potential second round of talks to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Macron stressed that Moscow and Washington must take responsibility.

According to the French president, if Russia makes it clear that it is "not ready for peace," Washington should reaffirm its commitment to sanctions against Moscow.

He also noted that "this is a test of trust for Americans."

I spoke to President Trump 48 hours ago, and he expressed his impatience. Now the question is, what do we do about it? We (Europeans — ed.) are ready.

According to Macron, Ukraine can count on its European allies, as their position on this issue is clear and unchanging.

"We have not changed, we still believe in international order, cooperation, open trade and respect for rules," the French leader emphasized.
