Macron: Putin is not ready for peace – what this means for Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron expressed doubts about Russian leader Vladimir Putin's readiness to end the war, believing that he shows no desire to end the conflict.

When I look at the situation and the facts, I do not see President Putin right now very eager for peace.

Macron also welcomed Donald Trump's optimism regarding the possibility of a peace agreement, urging to take this possibility seriously.

If he believes he can make a deal, that is great news, and we must do everything we can to achieve a great agreement.

Furthermore, Macron proposed to hold a quadrilateral summit involving representatives of Ukraine, the USA, Russia, and Europe, threatening Putin with punishment in case of refusal for peaceful dialogue.

In his expressed doubts and calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, President Macron continues an active policy of engaging all parties in negotiations and seeking a peaceful way out of the situation.
