Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this.According to Zelenskyy, today he had a phone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron."I gave him our Ukrainian perspective on yesterday’s conversation with President Trump and colleagues in Europe. Emmanuel informed me about his contacts with leaders—those that have already taken place this morning and those that are still planned for today," the president said. According to him, Ukraine and France are coordinating their positions and share the same view on the need for a common European approach to key security issues for Europe.Zelenskyy emphasized that much depends—both now and in the future—on the prudence and effectiveness of every step taken by Ukraine, Europe, and America."We agreed that work at the level of advisors and at the level of leaders must be effective. We remember that a real ceasefire is needed. Ukraine is ready for this, and it is from Russia that there is still no clear public response.
