French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Russia to agree to a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the United States and Ukraine. He emphasized that the ongoing aggression must end to halt further atrocities.
Macron discussed this proposal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Zelenskyy noted that their talks focused on diplomatic efforts, the feasibility of a ceasefire, and how to monitor it effectively. He stressed that Ukraine has France’s full support in these endeavors.
The proposed ceasefire aims to create a 30-day pause in hostilities, providing a window for diplomatic negotiations and humanitarian aid. However, Russia has yet to accept the proposal, leading to increased international pressure for de-escalation.

Macron’s appeal underscores the urgency of halting the conflict and finding a peaceful resolution. The international community continues to watch closely, hoping for a positive response from Russia to this initiative.
