French President Emmanuel Macron, after the departure of American President Donald Trump from the Palace of Versailles, said that after coordinating the positions of the United States, Europe and the G7 countries in supporting Ukraine, now it is Russian dictator Vladimir Putin who must show whether he is ready to return to negotiations without unacceptable conditions, an Ukrinform correspondent reports..

“Now it is Putin who must say whether he is ready to return to negotiations, but without unacceptable conditions. America is now giving Europe more freedom of action. At the same time, the United States remains with us to help Ukraine, and this is very important,” Macron emphasized.

In particular, according to Macron, in recent days it was possible to achieve an important result - to once again unite the G7 countries around supporting Ukraine. The French President noted that partners will continue to help Ukraine so that it can resist, defend its independence and achieve the necessary results.

In addition, he emphasized that restoring G7 unity is important, because joint support should strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, respond to attacks and restore energy. Macron also noted that France will continue to help find compromises and support joint diplomatic work between partners.

“We are one of the important countries when it comes to lifting sanctions or maintaining pressure. We also have the necessary experience. In addition, joint diplomatic work continues,” the French leader emphasized.
