The "peace" offered to Ukraine by Russia would mean capitulation, French President Emmanuel Macron has said after a coalition of the willing meeting on Sunday.

Quote : "We want peace: a strong, lasting peace, preceded by the return of prisoners of war and innocent people, and one that respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries...

There is only one state whose peace offer would mean capitulation – Russia."

Details:Macron stressed that if allies show weakness before Russia, they will be setting the stage for future conflicts.

"I do not think that President Putin wants peace. I think that he wants Ukraine’s capitulation," the French leader repeated. [N.B. Ukrainska Pravda does not recognise Putin as president – ed.]

He expressed confidence that US President Donald Trump "wants peace" and called not to uphold a "might makes right" mentality, so as not to create a new international order that will no longer be based on law.

In this context, Macron said, Europeans must be present at "the next summits on Ukraine".

Background:

• Zelenskyy said that at Sunday’s meeting, members of the coalition of the willing coordinated their positions ahead of his visit to Washington for a meeting with Trump.
• Macron will be among the European leaders accompanying Zelenskyy on Monday during his visit to the White House.
