Together, we demand this from Russia and know that the United States supports us in this regard.

The ceasefire must be comprehensive in the air, at sea and on land, he said.
Its entirely possible to ensure the monitoring of the ceasefire in coordination with the United States.
Thats totally realistic.

In the event of a violation of this ceasefire, we have agreed that massive sanctions will be prepared and coordinated between Europeans and Americans, the French president noted.
