The French government does not understand why US President Donald Trump suggested that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy is to blame for the fullscale Russian invasion and war.
Source Reuters, citing Sophie Primas, a spokeswoman for the French government, as reported by European Pravda Details Primas noted that Trump has made a series of comments about Ukraine over the past few days without consulting his European allies.
We dont understand the logic very well, she told reporters, describing the diverse, varied and often incomprehensible comments by President Trump.
Trump told reporters on Tuesday that it would have been very easy to resolve the RussoUkrainian war over the past three years and that just a halfbaked negotiator could have settled this.
Ukraine and its European allies were caught off guard by Washington and Moscows decision to hold peace talks in Saudi Arabia this week.
Kyiv has emphasised that it will not accept any agreement forced on it without its consent, a position shared by European leaders.
Meanwhile, Moscow has ruled out any compromises, particularly territorial ones.
Background On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron will hold an informal meeting on Ukraine with several European leaders and Canada, following similar meetings with the UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, Denmark and the Netherlands on Monday.
