According to the French leader, his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky supported his idea of resuming dialogue with Putin.
In addition, Macron has secured support from European partners.
The head of the republic frankly admitted that he does not yet see the Kremlin's desire to sign a peace agreement in the coming days or weeks.
"We continue to support Ukraine, which is experiencing bombing, cold, attacks on the civilian population and energy infrastructure of Ukraine by the Russians, which is intolerable and does not indicate a true readiness for peace negotiations," the Ukrainian leader added.
